Chore-Time Brock Employees ‘Stuff The Bus’ For AWL
By Staff Report-
The event was organized by Michael Mettham and Maureen Kuhns from CTB. Almost $2,200 in donations of cat and dog food, laundry detergent, along with a large variety of pet supplies, were donated, according to a news release from AWL.
“April was a record-breaking month with 194 intakes, of which 170 where cats and kittens. As you can imagine, this takes a toll on our budget. AWL must fundraise to support our beautiful nonprofit shelter that many cats and dogs of Kosciusko County temporarily call home,” said Executive Director Tonya Blanchard “This time of year is when our passionate team and board of directors roll up their sleeves to get creative when have so many kittens come in the front door. Sadly, we see this on a weekly basis for what we call kitten season, or ‘Kitty Palooza’ in AWL terms.
“The stuff the bus program is a wonderful way for a business to help us out with the supplies we need to keep going. Chore-Time Brock’s ‘Stuff the Bus’ two-day event brought in an amazing amount of donations for our furry family. We can’t begin to thank them enough!” she said.
“We welcome everyone in Kosciusko County to stop in and take and tour or walk some dogs or snuggle some of our kittens. We currently have 324 pets in our care,”?Blanchard said.
“CTB was excited to have the opportunity to host this event and help the Animal Welfare League!” said Mettham, director of benefits, compensation and HRIS. “Tonya, John and the whole AWL staff do amazing work for the county. We’re thrilled that CTB employees stepped up like they did and truly stuffed the bus!”
The Animal Welfare League provides all-important services for all of Kosciusko County, the release states. For a second year in a row, AWL had a 97.7% save rate for pets in their care. Last year, they also experienced a 28.3% increase in pet intakes, totaling 1,664 pets. This increase added 367 additional pets over AWL’s 2021 intakes.
“What an amazing group at CTB to host this event for AWL” said John Lantz, AWL board president. “We are very thankful for their partnership and support! Our special thanks to Mike Kissane.”
AWL encourages you to come and spend time socializing the pets at the shelter. They are located at 1048 S. 325 E., Pierceton. Hours are Tuesday through Friday, 11:30 a.m. to 5 p.m.; Saturday, 11:30 a.m. to 4 p.m.; closed Sundays and Mondays.
