Purrfect Assistance for Pet Lovers
Petrusha Law is supporting the PETS Program, a vital resource for seniors living in low-income households. The program provides essential pet care assistance, including pet food delivery and veterinary wellness services. By supporting the PETS Program, Petrusha Law is helping to reduce feelings of isolation and loneliness among seniors and their pet companions. A local paralegal, Amy Hagan, from Petrusha Law, nominated the PETS Program to receive a $1,000 donation as part of the firm’s “10 Years, $10,000 Thanks” campaign. Hagan explained that her elderly mother has faced rising pet care costs, which has been a difficult time for her. Knowing that a program like PETS exists eases her mind and allows her to continue caring for her pet without added financial stress. The PETS Program is a testament to the power of community support. It provides a lifeline for seniors who are struggling to care for their pets, and in return, it brings joy and companionship to their lives. By supporting the PETS Program, we are investing in the well-being of our community members and their beloved pets.
