  Animal Rescue is in Need of Dog Food Donations Cat Litter
  
  With the increase in animal surrenders due to the bad economy and with the increase of animals transferred from Animal Services before being euthanized, the Sanctuary is in need of dog food donations to help feed all the animals residing at the Sanctuary until they are adopted.
  
  (Unfortunately this has become an on-going need as the stores that once donated ripped bags of food are also being hit with the bad economy and are now taping the bags and offering them for sale at a discounted rate instead of donating them to the Sanctuary).
  
  Bags of food (currently using Retriever from Tractor Supply or Old Roy from WalMart, but ANY brand is appreciated and will be used) can be dropped off at the following locations: The Sanctuary, 20010 East SR 64, 34212 (leave at the front gate) (941) 750-8185; Tractor Supply, 4404 East
