Home Van Pet Care Project News - Fall 2017

After the Storm Hurricane Irma came with a vengeance, but the pets and their owners at Grace Marketplace/Dignity Village were prepared.  Thanks to Jon DeCarmine, residents with pets were allowed to hunker down in one of the concrete block buildings on the Grace campus.  Home   Van   Pet   Care   Project  provided dog crates and cat carriers as well as plenty of  pet  food and treats, bowls, extra harnesses and leashes, plastic bags, towels, and kitty litter pans.  HVPCP stayed in constant contact with Grace staff advocate Travis Middleton and others.  Dignity Village resident James H. was a tremendous help in facilitating the setup and communicating with other residents.

September / October News

HOME VAN PET CARE PROJECT, INC. – Newsletter – September-October, 2012 From Elizabeth Howard, Coordinator Our primary mission is to provide food for the companion animals of homeless and very low income persons in our community. Friends moving on:   Our friends Diane and James were among the first people we met when Home Van Pet Care was just beginning five years ago. It is Diane, holding a little homeless kitten, who sparked the idea to help the homeless people by providing food for their animals. James and Diane have been good friends to us, especially in maintaining our Tent city Tribe of cats.

Providing Food for Pets of the Homeless Our primary mission is to provide food for pets of homeless and very low income people in our community. Our supporters are generous, and we are sometimes able to provide for other needs: shelter, collars and leashes, county licenses and veterinary attention. FOOD FIRST: Our primary distribution is on Wednesdays in the Courtyard of the Civic Media Center. We try to make this a peaceful time and give as much as we can. We also sometimes visit campsites to distribute food, water and treats. If you would like to visit, call for information (see below). Recently we started a DOG HOUSE PROJECT and have now installed four dog houses at various campsites. Each house is made individually by a carpenter friend. In the house pictured, all materials except the nails and screws were obtained recycled. If you would like to contribute to our Dog House Project, please indicate this on your Donation (see below).
