Furry Friends Drive helps local pets

The Furry Friends Food Drive helps make sure that Sisters' pets enjoy a well-fed holiday.

The drive, which ends December 17, serves families in need in Sisters, identified through the Sisters Kiwanis Christmas Food Basket program.

Last year the drive fed 99 dogs, 129 cats, one horse, four birds and two guinea pigs. A total of 73 families were helped.

Donations may be dropped off at The Nugget office, 442 E. Main Ave. Cash donations are welcomed and 100 percent of the donations are used to purchase pet food. Only dry dog and cat food and treats will be accepted -- no cans.

"The pet food drive has grown every year and we just don't have the space to handle canned food," said Kiki Dolson, drive organizer.

The pet food will be distributed along with the Kiwanis Food Baskets just before Christmas.
