You are right, and Beaker is wrong. No way stray dogs and cats need food or blankets unless they tell me so.

I mean, the actual cats and dogs. Not sure I can believe the hype of the people running the shelters.

If you are goign to donate food, you need to ask what kidn of food they want. - loosilu Jan 7, 11:42 30
- I'm gonna go off the board for this one and say, "dog and cat food." - Jim Jan 7, 11:43 28
  - if you show up with a pallet of Fancy Feast in tiny cans, you arenot helping the shelter. -- nm - loosilu Jan 7, 11:44 27
    - what do you have against Fancy Feast? -- nm - znu's cat Jan 7, 11:44 26
      - it's the tiny cans part. -- nm - loosilu Jan 7, 11:44 25
        
        Eh, an employee takes it home for their cat instead of stealing dry cat food from the shelter. Same dif. -- nm - Spawn Jan 7, 11:48 24
        
        that's a completely wasted donation, then. -- nm - loosilu Jan 7, 11:49 23
        
        I think it's a moot point. I can't imagine any Humane Society office turning down sealed pet food. - Jim Jan 7, 11:54 6
        
        I think mine would. - loosilu Jan 7, 11:56 5
        
        I bet you are wrong. -- nm - Spawn Jan 7, 11:57 4
        
        I bet you'd be willing to call and find out. - loosilu Jan 7, 11:59 3

        spoiler. - loosilu Jan 7, 12:02 1
        
        But do they accept Fancy Feast in their little cans? -- nm - Jim Jan 7, 12:04
        
        No, the employee does not steal the food that they *will* use. As I said, same dif. -- nm - Spawn Jan 7, 11:51 15
        
        so it works great - loosilu Jan 7, 11:54 14
        
        I just called mine, you are correct. - Spawn Jan 7, 11:59 13
        
        cool, now check the Northern Virginia ASPCA - loosilu Jan 7, 12:01 12
        
        Dog Food - Avo brand only, other brands call Fairfax. Cat food - Any brand. -- nm - Jim Jan 7, 12:03 7
        
        you're saying they turn away other brands? crazy!! - loosilu Jan 7, 12:04 6
        
        And yet, the Fairfax pet pantry (whatever that is) takes all brands. -- nm - Jim Jan 7, 12:06 5
        
        right, because I said all shelters turn down all food. -- nm - loosilu Jan 7, 12:07 4
        
        Actually what you said was showing up with a pallet of Fancy Feast is not helping the shelter. And I do believe YOUR shelter would, in fact, love a - Jim Jan 7, 12:09 3
        
        The real lesson here is, you know best, so you should donate exactly what YOU want - loosilu Jan 7, 12:11 2
        
        No, the real lesson here is that this thread is not the "rightest" you've ever been. -- nm - Jim Jan 7, 12:12 1

        No thanks, no way I would ever donate there as no way in hell I would ever live there. -- nm - Spawn Jan 7, 12:02 3
        
        on behalf of Arlington County, I thank you. -- nm - loosilu Jan 7, 12:03 2
        
        In other words, I win. - Spawn Jan 7, 12:09 1
        
        Dude...we're having an epic couple pf boards here. nm - Jim Jan 7, 12:09
- Agreed. I am going to go ask the cats and dogs what kind of food they want. -- nm - Spawn Jan 7, 11:43
