😺❤️CHANGE IS COMING🐶🙏
My love for pets and how I want to help them and their guardians through hard times is evolving again. Independent of Let’s Stay Together Pets, I am currently working toward offering mobile holistic treatments for pets and their people, and will be gradually stepping back from the organization.
However, it would break my heart 💔 if Let’s Stay Together Pets ceased to exist. So I’m reaching out to invite fellow pet lovers to consider taking over our modest operations, and eventually ownership of the organization.
Based in Bourbon, Missouri, we have been serving the pet family community with our pet food pantry program for 1-1/2 years. We have a simple food collection & distribution system, a growing network of fellow advocates, and currently 31 families in monthly rotation who rely on us and other resources to keep their creature companions fed so they can stay in the homes they know with the humans they love.
While this is currently a volunteer endeavor, we have started working toward making the Executive Director a paid position. There’s a lot of work ahead to grow Let's Stay Together Pets into the community resource I dreamt of for decades, so if you or someone you know feel called to do this kind of work in the world and want to know more, please reach out to us by commenting on this post, sending us a DM, or calling/texting Joyce at 573-259-1822. ❤️🙏
I will be sharing more information about Let’s Stay Together Pets and this transition in upcoming posts.
