If you would like to learn
more about the important
work at The Pet Cottage, a
local nonprofit that serves
homeless pets and senior
people … you’re in luck!
Come meet the people and
pets of The Pet Cottage
at our Open House on
Saturday, May 18, between
11:30 a.m. and 2:30 p.m.
Our party theme is Wizard
of Oz “There’s No Place Like Home” and all members
of the community are invited!
The Pet Cottage celebrates and protects the magical
relationship between people and pets by providing
homestyle care for pets who lose their humans due to
death, disability or deployment through the Lifelong
Guardianship Program. They provide pet companionship
for senior people and fully support that relationship by
covering all veterinary expenses, providing regular check-
ins and giving a peace of mind that the pet will always
have a home, no matter what.
Join The Pet Cottage for a fun and exciting afternoon
where you can meet the pets, talk to volunteers, learn more
about current volunteer opportunities and hang out with
pet lovers.
Bring a much-needed supply (paper towels, wee wee pads
or laundry detergent) and get some Pet Cottage swag! Light
refreshments will be provided.
