The Ohio Pet Fund
Results of a “Google Search” is prompting P.U.P.S. to apply for funding through The Ohio Pet Fund. The Ohio Pet Fund is a wonderful organization helping our pets in Ohio and offering a license plate to banner our love for our pets as well. Have you gotten yours yet?
Pets Uniting People Society (P.U.P.S.) will be submitting a grant application to implement our neuter/spay program and educational publication.
Dixie is part bassett and coonhound. She is two years old and lives with an elderly gentleman who loves her very much, but is terminally ill and cannot provide for her anymore.
Sweet Dixie is crate-trained and does well on a leash. She is up-to-date on all shots and has been spayed. As you can see from her pictures, she is very sweet and she’d make a great therapy dog. If you or someone you know wants a dog that would be a great companion, this is the one!
UPDATE: Bittersweet story: Dixie’s caregiver passed away, but his son decided to take Dixie home and give her a home for the rest of her life! He already has a Beagle, but thinks the two will get along fine.
P.U.P.S. is getting requests from local food pantries on any possibility of cat or dog food. I know the need is great in our community, however, that is the case in every town across America.
As keeper of a cat facility, P.U.P.S. knows how important it is to give cats nutritious food to keep them healthy and happy. The best case scenario is to get these cats adopted into homes. The sad part is some of these cats have bad habits or are older and no one cares to adopt them. P.U.P.S. also has board members who provide neuter/spay services to those stray cats to help keep the cat population down in targeted areas. There are food needs here as well. Strays depend upon the caregiver to get-by especially in these harsh winter days.
Animal advocates do help one another and our “call” is in to national distributors who help nonprofit organizations with a need for dog and cat food.
On behalf of P.U.P.S., will keep everyone alerted to any availability of food.
Let’s make the new year…a year to help more pets and people. We never know what the day may bring, but we’re hoping it’s cat food!
A new edition of “PUPS Digest” will be released soon!
P.U.P.S. is a 501c3 nonprofit organization and your donation is tax-deductible.
Thank you!
Happy New Year!
It’s Something Much More…
P.U.P.S. is something much more than just a membership, a website, a blog. It’s a place where you can learn about pets that need a friend and a home. It’s a place where pet lovers can read about what we can do together to make a difference in the life of a person and his or her pet. It’s a cold and cruel world when you have no one.
Please find it in your heart to help “Pets Uniting People Society (P.U.P.S.)” offer hope for a person with a pet or a family with more than one pet who are struggling to find a way to make it through another day, wondering where the help and hope is coming from.
Could you reach out in this New Year and give a small donation so we can continue to spread the word and show the way for pets and people in distress? We’ve said this many times, people should not be shunned or penalized because they have pets, they should be rewarded and helped as much as possible.
Give today! Become a MEMBER of Pets Uniting People Society. Pets really do unite people…we got the testimonies to prove it!
Help us make 2012 a record year for Pets Uniting People Society!

P.U.P.S. needs to find Figaro a home.
There are just cats, but then there is FIGARO! He’s so nice and pleasant, he makes one want to sing!!
Unfortunately, he’s been declawed (so he’s an inside cat), but fortunately he’s young, neutered, and healthy ready for someone to take him home.
Figaro has a great personality and would make someone a super companion! And, did I say he is handsome?! He is!!
He just woke up from a nap when these pictures were taken.
It’s been a while since “baby boomers” were in school, even high school, but many things learned there were not forgotten. Today, in Springfield, OH, PUPS’ Clubs offers students opportunities to learn about the proper care and handling of pets. PUPS brings in an area pet professional every month to head the roundtable discussion.
PUPS believes in its mission of “education, awareness, and responsibility” in animal welfare and many area pet professionals believe in it too. Even if one student takes to heart and mind what we are stressing as important in animal welfare, it will be worth it all.
Recently, Dr. John Bruce, Northwood Veterinary Hospital, Springfield, OH, took over an hour outside of his normal routine as a local veterinarian and spent that time at Springfield High School’s PUPS Club. His talk was very interesting and he brought up many important factors to consider before acquiring a pet.
Thanks Dr. Bruce for taking time out of your day to show your concern and compassion for young people and pets! 
We appreciate you! And, so does Phantom, the therapy-dog-in-training!
Look what PUPS’ resources provided in its first year:
Baxter, PUPS' Poster Pooch
PUPS is thankful for the availability of resources and assistance of other nonprofits and people’s generous donations in order to do what we do on a daily basis. On behalf of the PUPS’ board of trustees, a “big thank you” to all the advisory board members: Ann Kallal, John Curtis, Dr. Dana King, Dr. Kenith Burnett, and Dr. John Bruce. In addition, PUPS wishes to thank MARS Food Bank, Columbus, OH, and Alley Cat Resources Neuter/Spay Clinic, Cincinnati, OH, and so many talented individuals, i.e. Nikki Boetger, Lisa Scarsi, Yvonne Kimman, and Lorna Poston! Encouraging words from so many more! It’s been an incredible year!!
As we give thanks, remember pets are always uniting people in everyday life. In this season of giving, please be generous in donating to Pets Uniting People Society (PUPS) so we can help more people and pets.
We are definitely counting our blessings and are thankful for what God has done!
PUPS found Chloe a Home
Maybe we need a “Help Center” 24/7…perhaps here on the Internet as well as an actual physical location where people and pets can go for whatever problem they maybe facing? These days, it seems like many people with pets are in more and more dilemmas. It could be due to a job loss, a health crisis, or just having too many pets to care for on a daily basis.
PUPS School Club at Springfield High School brings awareness and education to youth about the problems sometimes faced with having a pet in the family. However, with the proper education and right outlook many obstacles can be overcome.
What a great morning it was on September 28th at “Partners in Business” at the Springfield High School. Over 30 businesses participated with more signing on to help the youth of our community understand how businesses operate on a daily basis whether they are “for-profit” or ”non-profit”.
In the near future, check this blog site for frequent updates regarding newly organized PUPS’ activities throughout the Central Ohio area.

Just met with two super exciting young women, Alyce Comer and Stacey Picolo, who have given me a “jump-start” in getting motivated about many things in life. One thing in particular is “Pets Uniting People Society” or PUPS. Stacey is a newly elected board member for PUPS. With her short time being involved, ”things” are beginning to “MOVE”! Both of these gals “live the life” of fitness and their vim and vigor shows in their everyday life! 
Stay tuned for new posts to this Blog as life needs to be lived with a passion! What did I learn today about me after having breakfast with Stacey and Alyce? That I love oatmeal with cranberries and pecans! It was delicious! And I didn’t even add any brown sugar!!!
Check your watch, is it time to take your dog for a walk? What a great companion to have to keep your exercise in check!
