Pasado's Story

Contributed by Rita Morgan, National Coordinator for Home for the HOWLidays dog and cat home giveaway for pets of the poor.

Pasado's Team Georgia is going for the gold!!!

This is how they started - just a few people with enormous heart. They started collecting dog houses and beds, toys, and food...and then they were off!
 

This wonderful group of women joined forces with Pasado’s Safe Haven to bring some joy and comfort to needy pets by signing up Home for the HOWLidays. A picture is truly worth a thousand words. While we choose to go out on Christmas Day in the Pacific Northwest, they decided to start early since chilly nights are common in Georgia.

They forwarded photos from their first venture out in search of animals who have nothing. The animals they found now have sturdy, safe doghouses to live in, blankets to keep them warm and toys to remind them that they have compassionate and generous neighbors who are thinking of them.

Although they brought comfort to so many, they're not stopping there. The goal to Home for the HOWLidays is to also spay and neuter. The less unwanted animals means the more loved and cared for pets. By making friends with dog and cat guardians and building trust, it's a snap to offer to "fix" their beloved dog or cat.

Team Georgia continued throughout the winter months to collect donated houses. Pasado's Safe Haven sent them a $250 PETsMART Gift Card to help, something we'll do for you, too if you start a legacy for the needy animals in your area - and we'll keep helping that way year after year!

Pasado's Team Georgia asked friends for donations in lieu of holiday gifts using a darling poster they made themselves. What a great idea! And would any gift make them feel better and more fulfilled than this?

When they got to see the faces of the families and pets they have helped, it was all worth it. Pasado's Safe Haven could not be more proud to partner with these true modern-day heroes!
