Professional Pet Sitters of Minnesota (PPSMN) is hosting the Wishbones for Pets Thanksgiving charity event for their sixth consecutive year.
Professional pet sitters from around the country and Canada participate in the event for six weeks prior to Thanksgiving to collect food, pet items and funds for pet-related charities in their community.
PPSMN member businesses will be collecting funds, gift cards, toys, leashes, litter boxes, crates, kennels and all other pet products until 11/30/2010.
All proceeds that PPSMN member businesses collect this year will go to the homeless animals at Red Lake Rosie's Rescue.
Grace Morris, owner of Pet Buddy Plus is a member business of Professional Pet Sitters of Minnesota. She is a WishBones for Pets Regional Director for MN and the event coordinator for WishBones for Pets on behalf of PPSMN. To arrange for a time for Grace to pick up items, call 612-221-2021.
Checks should be made payable to: Red Lake Rosie's and can be mailed to: WishBones for Pets c/o Pet Buddy Plus, 6248 Brooklyn Drive, Brooklyn Center, MN 55430
Red Lake Rosie's Rescue, Inc. began in 2004 by a group of volunteers on the Red Lake Reservation in northwestern Minnesota who were concerned about domestic animals and their care in our nation.
The group incorporated and was granted 501 (c) (3) status as a nonprofit organization in February 2006. RLRR has a volunteer network in the Twin Cities that provides support. Their focus is on the following programs:
* Rescue of homeless dogs and cats
* Temporary sheltering of rescued animals
* Providing food and medical care
* Neutering and spaying
* Adoption into forever homes
* Humane education.
Funds collected for Red Lake Rosie's will also be used for much needed veterinarian costs and supplies, since the majority of the animals rescued by Rosie's are in need of medical attention.
PPSMN is an association of Professional Pet Sitting businesses dedicated to promoting the welfare of all animals and raising the standards of the pet sitting industry through example, education and cooperation.
