<\/p>\nWoo Hoo! What we do want to shout from the rooftops is how awesome our customers are for donating this food to the Pongo Fund, and what a fantastic job the Pongo Fund does to help people and pets in need all over Oregon, from food to lifesaving veterinary care. The most important thing they offer is dignity, recognizing the humanity in every person, understanding that asking for help is often difficult, and that life can deal unexpected blows. Most importantly, that a pet is so often a lifeline for people who have very little else. We want to keep people and pets that love and rely on each other together, and we couldn’t help to do that without the generosity of our wonderful customers. This year’s drive resulted in almost 3,000lb of food – that’s a ton and a half! Thanks y’all!<\/p>\n

The Pongo Fund Posted this on their Facebook page yesterday:<\/p>\n
Hint: It\u2019s not the truck. This photo speaks volumes, Pongo volumes, that is. Your eye goes to the bright Ryder logo, right? But that\u2019s not it. No, it\u2019s the pallet of NutriSource Pet Foods coming up the ramp. That’s the big deal here. And that\u2019s just one of dozens of pallets donated by Green Dog Pet Supply<\/a> over the years, literally tens of thousands of lifesaving meals they\u2019ve given, thanks to their pet food drives and their generous customers. With a big assist from Nutrisource and Animal Supply Company too. <\/span><\/p>\n Like the pallet, Green Dog doesn\u2019t grab for attention. They make a difference quietly, respectfully; doing what they can without shouting that they did it. And that\u2019s why we love them. Because The Pongo Fund does it like that too. Simply, respectfully, quietly, always focused on making a difference. Because doing it is more important than talking about it.<\/p>\n With our Pet Food Bank that\u2019s provided more than 10 million high-quality meals or with our Emergency Kibble Response Team that hits the road near and far or with our Lifesaving Veterinary Care Team or with our Pop-Up Pongo Team, we do our best to save lives and keep animals safe in their homes and out of the shelters.<\/p>\n We\u2019ve helped more than 100,000 animals since we began this effort a little more than eight years ago, Saving lives and keeping animals out of shelters; keeping pets and their people together, that\u2019s our thing. And we thank you, because we couldn\u2019t do it without you.<\/p>\n And this is why we Pongo.<\/p>\n Sit. Stay. Eat.
