We want to thank everyone in the community that has come through for EARS this past week. We reached for help and it has been coming in. We are hanging on by a thread but the enormous hearts and dedication of the EARS Board and its volunteers are determined to continue saving precious lives. We can all make a difference if we work together.

Press Release

EARS benefits from generous business owners and their customers

Englewood Animal Rescue Sanctuary accepted a VERY generous donation of over a thousand pounds of pet food from the Black Widow Harley-Davidson dealership in Port Charlotte. Irene and Armand Pinard, owners of the dealership, purchased several hundred pounds of pet food and then asked the same from their customers. The Pinards read in the newspaper that the EARS food bank was critically low and took action. They now have a program in place in which they will collect pet food for EARS on the last Saturday of every month.

"These folks really came through for us," said Bobbi Austin, spokesperson and board member for EARS. "Business owners like Irene and Armand Pinard and the great people of the community have shown us that they truly care about the animals that we rescue!"

"Our food bank is so important to needy families and their pets,” said Deva Ballantyne, board member for EARS. "We distribute hundreds of pounds of pet food every week. Just a few short weeks ago, our food bank was nearly empty. We made a plea to the community and they came through! We will always be fighting the good fight to keep levels in the food bank manageable, but this reinforces the fact that we live in a caring, giving community."

EARS continues to be in need of cat food, not only for the food bank, but for the many cats that are being cared for by EARS. Friskies Paté and Fancy Feast are particularly needed and appreciated.

If members of the community would like to help, but find it inconvenient to drop off food, EARS continues to desperately need cash donations.

All monetary donations may be mailed or dropped off at Englewood Animal Rescue Sanctuary, 145 W. Dearborn Street, Englewood, FL 34223. Food donations may be dropped off at the same address. Donations may also be made over the phone via credit card by calling 941-681-3877 or made by Paypal on our website at www.ears4life.com.

Englewood Animal Rescue Sanctuary is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) volunteer organization, dedicated to rescuing, caring for and adopting homeless cats and dogs. EARS is a no-kill shelter serving Sarasota, Charlotte, and DeSoto counties.
