This project was of my own initiative. Animals deserve the minimal attention they request, or at least a home with food. The rate at which pets are becoming homeless has increased, and overpopulation in animal shelters throughout the country has become a prevalent problem due to recent economic difficulties. My passion for animal welfare has motivated me to take action and attempt to decrease the rates at which pets are becoming homeless. By delivering pet food to homeless people with dogs in Downtown, Miami I assured nutritional meals to pets who usually don’t have one. I also prevented the homeless person from having to give up part of their meal for the benefit of their pet(s). I then delivered food to Farm Share food bank which collects and hands out food to those that need it, Farm Share also prepares packages to be used in case of emergencies such as natural disasters. My project has brought relief to families with dogs or cats that seek comfort in their pets as loving companions and possibly children, but don’t have the funds to feed them what they should be eating to stay healthy.
