Businesswoman joins mission to feed pets, owners
Fill The Food Bowl Campaign
In today’s economy more and more people are facing financial difficulties and have no means to feed their pets. The shelters are becoming inundated with family pets, dogs and cats, due to owner surrenders. Owners can no longer keep them due to financial strains. This is where the HSP steps in to the pets and people in our community,
The Fill the Food Bowl program was designed with the welfare of the pets and the current state of the economy in mind, this program is designed to help people feed their pets. The HSP will also delivery pet food to home bound citizens. Donation boxes have been set up at select locations throughout the triad and donations are tax deductible.
Here at the HSP we have taken this campaign one step further by collecting non perishable people food to distribute to the various food banks/pantries in our community. We have begun placing donation bins around the triad at Talbot’s, Market America, Brassfield Animal Hospital, Camp Bow Wow, MEG’s, just to name a few. See complete listing below.
Food delivery is available to qualified applicants. For help or to find out more about this program you can email us or call us at 336-299-3060.

October is Domestic Violence Month
Animal Abuse and Domestic ViolenceAn abundance of research shows the close link between violent behavior toward animals and violent behavior toward people.
The studies on this page focus on the extraordinary prevalence of animal cruelty in homes afflicted by domestic violence.
They reveal the insidious and calculated motives for harming or killing another person’s beloved pet, and the heartrending repercussions for the abused partners, their pets and their children. Read entire article

Young People Making a Difference
Daisy Troop 40326 in Oak Ridge
Meet Kristen Shirley a beautiful 12 year old, in the 6th grade at Randleman Middle School.
When Kristen asks us about donating her handmade"TLC treat jars" we were more than happy to have them to distribute. I asked Krisien to tell us about why she wants to help the animals and below are her own words. A perfect example of a young person making a difference.
I am donating these special homemade jars full of treats for special dogs that need extra TLC that are being adopted out. I came up with this idea because my very good friend, Julie, who works at the Humane Society Spay and Neuter Clinic and helped us adopt a kitty that needed a home, explained how so many animals are dumped, unwanted, or just abandoned. I researched the sites that Julie told me about and I saw how true her statement really was! Since I can't adopt them all, I decided to touch their lives in my own way. I wanted to do what I could. So, I thought of these treat jars just like goodie bags at a birthday party. I bought the jars, bones, material, ribbon, and typed up a paper to let people know my cause. I love all animals and hope to be a veterinarian one day.
Thanks,
Kristen Shirley
Meet Kaitlin and Spencer, a brother and sister eager to help with the launching of the Fill The Food Bowl campaign at All Pets Considered. Kaitlin spoke to the customers as they entered the store and handed out informational literature, all the while promoting our Planned Pethood Spay & Neuter Clinic.
Spencer was a huge help with ARGNC's Indoor Pet Adoption Fair held the same day. He never shied from carrying dog crates, helping the groups to set up as well as walking the dogs. Spencer also helped at the door informing customer of the day's events.
Both these wonderful young people are making a difference!
A big Thank You to Drew Manry
Instead of getting gifts for his birthday, he asked his guests to make a pet food donation or money donation to help the animals. Drew received $240.00 and lots of pet food which he donated to the Humane Society!
We, the Humane Society of The Piedmont,
help make rescue effort a success!
30 jack russell terriers GIVE NEW MEANING TO THE PHRASE
‘‘Every dog has its day”
AKC-registered dogs arrive in Greensboro Sunday, available for adoption July 30
Greensboro, nc, July 23, 2009 - Thirty AKC-registered Jack Russell Terriers will be transported to Greensboro on Sunday where three local groups have joined forces to prepare them for adoption on July 30.
Finding Great Homes for Jack Russell Terriers, a Jack Russell Rescue group located in the Piedmont Triad, is coordinating the rescue efforts of the 30 dogs who will spend four days being prepared for adoption by the Humane Society of the Piedmont, Dog Days and Planned Pethood, a low cost spay and neuter clinic.
“Without their help, this rescue would be nearly impossible,” said Robin Manley of Finding Great Homes for Jack Russell Terriers. “This is truly a community-wide effort .”
The Humane Society will transport the terriers on Sunday where each of the dogs will be comfortably housed in individual air conditioned kennels, to make the 4 hour trip to Greensboro, NC. Dog Days, a Greensboro canine day care and boarding utopia will welcome the dogs and will provide comfortable accommodations, activities and natural, holistic meals for all of the Jack Russell’s. Planned Pethood, the Piedmont Triad’s finest low cost spay and neuter clinic, will spay and/or neuter each of the dogs, along with providing all of their current rabies and shots in preparation for adoption. In addition, each Jack Russell will receive a Home Again Microchip with lifetime registration included.

Emma is doing great!! She had a check-up and received a good report. She has gained weight, she is now 30 lbs!! Her foster family LOVES her.
Meet Emma………….found wondering the streets………..emaciated, famished looking for water and food!!
One only knows what this poor gal endured…..she didn’t come looking for pitty, she doesn’t wear the “poor pitifyl me”…… she came looking for someone to LOVE!!!Yes you read that right……….another one let down by humans, another victim of down right cruelty……yet longing to LOVE humans!! Emma is a wonderful teacher!! Her tail never stops wagging, she is ALWAYS happy!! She lives in the moment…..her past behind her!
Her foster family adores her. She sleeps in her crate, offering not a whimper but only a lick and a wagging tail. Emma is 21 pounds and should be 45 – 50 pounds, she is HW positive and the vet estimates her age to be about 5 -6 years old.
UPDATE: Lexi has been adopted
Lexi had her surgery. The bullet was removed and the damage to her spine was minimal and they didn't have to amputate her right front leg. As you see in the picture below, she favors it. She will be under going physical therapy to regain full use of her leg. THANK YOU for helping save Lexi!
