Pet Meals on Wheels for Seniors with Pets
Have you ever shared your food with your dog or cat? It’s something that many of us do even though we probably shouldn’t. But, if we had no dog food or cat food, we’d probably give our pet some of our meal. That’s what many senior citizens were doing and this prevented them from getting the nourishment they so badly needed. And, their pets were still hungry.
The Senior Center, contacted Paws of Wakulla, Inc. about partnering with the Center to help collect pet food so it can be delivered to seniors at the same time the senior’s meals are delivered through the Meals on Wheels program. In an announcement in The News, it was shared that “It’s amazing what 501(c) 3 entities can do for the good of people and pets when they partner with one another. At a time of government cutbacks, local non-profits are stepping up and are becoming a source of solace and sensitivity to populations in need whether they are two-legged or four-legged; whether they have hair, hide, fur, fins or feathers. Someone has to step up and Paws and WSSC are new best friends! Thank you Paws.”
If you would like to donate to this cause you can help in several ways
1) Drop bags of dry dog and cat food off at the Senior Center, 33 Michael Drive in Crawfordville or VCA Wakulla Animal Hospital, 2571 Crawfordville Hwy.
2) donate to Paws of Wakulla, Inc. by sending a check to Paws of Wakulla, PO Box 1195, Crawfordville, FL 32326 or
3) via PayPal on Paws website: pawsofwakulla.org, or the donation link on our Facebook page "Paws of Wakulla"
Meet two senior citizens and their pets that benefit from this program. Aren't they happy!

Paws of Wakulla also donates pet food to local food banks for food insecure families
so they can keep their pets instead of having to surrender them to the shelter. From time to time we also assist individuals that have fallen on hard times and need short term help feeding their family pets.
