Wash your puppy and help the oil spill victims

My friend blogged about this interesting fundraiser to help victims of the oil spill. I thought I would share the information on our blog. Enjoy!

Groom Your Puppy and Help with the Oil Spill!
Posted by JacquieJune 11, 2010If you are feeling helpless about the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, you can stop! There is a way for concerned citizens to help. I was very thrilled to stumble upon information about an organization called Matter of Trust. Matter of Trust is working with some local pet groomers and veterinarian offices to collect pet hair in order to help clean up the oil spill.

The donated pet hair is collected and stuffed into nylon stockings and Matter of Trust makes booms that are put in the water to absorb the oil.

Watch video showing the process.

Participating groomers and vets are:

Yuppy Puppy (843) 884-7666

Animal Medical West (843) 766-7387

Bark Avenue (843) 471-2275
