Atlanta Pet Food Bank

For the past few months, I have had the honor of working with Ann King at Blooming Cookies, a creative cookie/gift company that ships nationwide. We've been working on a line of eco-friendly gifts, which fabulous. Also Blooming Cookies are all-natural, preservative free, in biodegradable wrappers, and very, very, tasty. If you're going to indulge, I recommend the Oatmeal Raisin Cookie.

The Blooming Cookies office is a very dog-friendly environment. Ann is very involved in Animal Rescue and there's always a posse of dogs with her. Just a few weeks ago, after hearing that folks in Atlanta are abandoning their pets because they can no longer afford their food and care, that Animal Rescue and Control facilities are beyond capacity, she rallied pet rescue groups, volunteers, and pet businesses to support a brand-new Pet Food Bank. Donations are accepted at many companies and shelters around Atlanta, and the food is distributed at PALS Atlanta for needy pet owners. Support already has been huge, and Ann was on WSBTV news last night, drawing more attention to the issue.
