Pet Peeps just finished our donation drive “Presents4Pets” in support of the Washington Humane Society last weekend. We are thrilled to let you know that we gathered over $1,000 in pet supplies, from reflective collars, water bowls and stuffed animals to cat and dog beds. We dropped off a car-load Sunday, November 8 at The Washington Humane Society and were greeted by two volunteers who were THRILLED at the boxes we kept bringing in. I am confident the donations will be put to good use; they started going through the boxes before we left, designating what toy each dog would like!
We could not have done this without you: our clients and the public. Some do not understand that a shelter is not the same as a home because there is not way that specialized care can be given to each animal like it can in your home. After picking up supplies at a few of the sites, I saw how excited many of the workers there were about our drive. After picking up the drop-off box at CityPaws, the workers were truly sad to see the drive end; the owner at GreenPets through in a few donations of his own and one of the workers at Logan Hardware said she had intended on bringing in a big bag of cat food but had not had the chance. It was so heart-warming to see the community come together to give.
After unloading the car, one cat bed was immediately put to use by a furry white cat, replacing a hard, plastic bin. The workers remarked that the kennels would quiet for days with the bones donated and some lucky cat would get the catnip castle!
We were not expecting a large drive this year, it was our first and we were not sure how much we could do. My expectations were blown out of the water.
We sincerely appreciate the generosity in GreenPets, 5th Street Hardware, Logan Hardware, MacArthur Animal Hospital and CityPaws act as drop-off sites. And to those who contributed: you are an example of “making a difference” and made a difference in the lives of shelter pets at The Washington Humane Society.
We look forward to your participation in next years drive!

Holy smoke. You may have noticed that we've made some major changes to the look and feel of the Pet People website. That's because we've finally finished the website re-design. In addition to aesthetics, there are a few other features of note. We've added a blog, a featured client area, a web content form and made strides in making the web site more navigable. There will be more changes as we continue to improve the site.
This website is also a departure in that Gus didn't try to do it entirely by himself. This great web designer guy, Daniel Vickers of FiG, did it. Gus still had a lot to do with it though. We hope you enjoy it and that it doesn't throw you off too much. Much of the content is the same and the scheduling software portion remains unchanged. If you have any questions or comments, feel free to contact us.
