Humane Animal Rescue of Pittsburgh hosts pet supply distribution event on 143 Day
PITTSBURGH (KDKA) — Humane Animal Rescue of Pittsburgh held a pet supply distribution event on 143 Day.
The organization handed out donated items to families in need of a little help taking care of their pets. It's called Ellie's Attic and the event supplied hundreds of items at no cost.
William Green has several dogs and a cat at home.
"This event right here, it's so good for the community. It's great," he said.
Ellie's Attic is an offshoot of Ellie's Pet Food Pantry, a safety net program that helps keep pets out of shelters and safe at home.
HARP's Michele Frennier said, "We know the best place for a pet is in a loving home, but sometimes pet owners may be facing some challenges."
Volunteers from Tri-State Office Furniture also donated their time to the event.
