Donate Dog Food at Lakewood Dog Park Super 'Bowl' Sunday

At the Lakewood Dog Park, SUPER BOWL Sunday, February 5, 2012. 10:00am to 1:30pm. All donations benefit My Best Friends Bowl. Sponsored by Friends of the Lakewood Dog Park, Inc. 501(c)(3)

As part of our outreach mission for 2012, Friends of the Lakewood Dog Park, Inc. 501(3)(c) is hosting a pet food donation drive to benefit another dog loving Lakewood non-profit, My Best Friends Bowl.

And what better time to do it than Super Bowl Sunday!

Simply stop by the Lakewood Dog Park February 5, 2012 from 10:00am to 1:30pm with a donation of dog or cat food. We have a super goal of stuffing a Subaru full of food to fill hundreds of pet bowls.

Representing the event sponsor, Ganley Westside Subaru, Laurie Sekeres, will be on hand showing off a “Dog Tested, Dog Approved” Subaru, with a tailgate wide open and ready for pet food donations. Dry or canned, big bags or small, all will be greatly appreciated. Gift cards to any local pet supply store will be used to purchase food when needed. One gallon zip-lock bags are needed to break down larger bags to smaller.

And because its Super Bowl Sunday, we want a win-win situation! Not only will all the pet food collected be donated to My Best Friends Bowl, but for every new or pre-owned vehicle purchased from Laurie at Ganley Westside Subaru during the month of February, $100 will be donated to Friends of the Lakewood Dog Park, Inc. 501(3)(c). Half of all Subaru owners own a dog so we know we’ll see a lot of canine pet parents.

We really scored a touchdown with support for the event from the Cleveland Browns. So, be sure to stop by with your pet food donation and see what surprises we have.

Here’s why its so important to help. It’s heart breaking for a pet owner to have to surrender a beloved animal because of their economic situation. My Best Friends Bowl is dedicated to providing a temporary supply of food to the people in our community and their pets.  It is our goal to keep pets and their owners together and to make sure that every bowl is full. 25-30 lbs of dry dog food would feed an average dog for a month. 3-4 lbs of dry cat food will feed an average cat for a month.

Don’t forget, if you’re not a member of Friends of the Lakewood Dog Park, Inc., you can join the team on February 5th from 10:00am to 1:30pm. Annual fee, ONLY $10.
