This is a draft of the second post in the thread

#PetFamilyAdvocacy #DogsAreFamily ❤️

Maria and Nugget are clearly bonded and depend on each other. Dogs are essential companions for the elderly who are home-bound and live alone. We are so glad Maria and Nugget have each other and thanks to your support, Kane's will continue to assist this pet family in the future. 🧵

Thank you for supporting our work - together, we accomplish so much more!

They are especially vital to our most vulnerable in society -- the elderly, disabled, veterans, domestic violence survivors and the unhoused. That's why the Kane's Krusade mission directly addresses the causes of surrender within these demographics. 🧵

Livvy's hooman is an elderly woman living on a tight fixed income. She recently lost her husband and Livvy is helping her cope with the loss. Dogs are healers. 🧵

Not only did Livvy get spayed, she also got a booster shot, microchip and pawdicure. In addition, Livvy had a hernia that was repaired and we are so excited another surgery was not required! We love the S/N Clinic team - they consistently go the extra mile for our pet families! 🧵

Rambo and Berto were referred to Kane's by one of our current pet families, which is one of the nicest compliments we can receive. We work hard to build trust and good will with our pet families and it shows when they care enough to help others in the community.

In addition to the C.A.R.E. Kit, thanks to you, Kane's sponsored a vet tech appointment for Rambo to get the remainder of his vaccinations for a total of $181.37. He was already established with a local vet and had received his rabies vaccination. 🧵

This handsome boi is a one year old American Bully and as you can see from the picture, he is stunning. The Krew loved meeting Rambo and his hooman when their first C.A.R.E. Kit was delivered. Rambo has a wonderful temperament and it's clear that he is the center of his hooman Berto's world. 🧵

The first picture is a drawing Monique's daughter made to thank us for helping her family. The picture of Pablo was taken just weeks ago when the Krew brought his most recent C.A.R.E. Kit.

Rest in peace, Monique.

I would add courage, resilience and strength to that list.

That's some serious dog bones! Special shout out to Kimberly Tremblay for coordinating the employee team efforts and to Rachel Grimaldi for showcasing Kane's Krusade at the Arrha Sumner Ave Springfield branch. Thank you for supporting our mission to keep loved dogs with their furever families!

Not only was Arrha a gold sponsor of the Kane's Pawsome 5K Festival this year, their employees held fundraisers in each of their four branches and set out donation boxes for their customers.

Along with team fundraising, the grand total for money contributed this year is $1, 747! Woo hoo!! 🧵

A powerful way to thank those who served is to help a veteran in need. Please support the Pet Family Housing Initiative. As the days get colder, every dollar counts.

Through this special program, we provide short term stays in dog friendly hotels. We have also boarded dogs for a few veterans with medical emergencies. 🧵

In addition to sponsoring exams, vaccinations, diagnostics, food, equipment and spay/neuter services, we also provide comfort and safety through our Pet Family Housing Initiative. 🧵
