CARSON CITY, Nev. (News 4 & Fox 11) — Throughout October, Carson City’s Michael Hohl Motor Company is collecting pet food donations in hopes of filling a pickup truck with food to support Pets of the Homeless.
Last year, the dealership collected more than 2,480 pounds of pet food for Pets of the Homeless, which is based in Carson City and is the only national nonprofit dedicated to feeding and providing emergency veterinary care to pets of homeless people.
“We are so thankful to Michael Hohl for helping us collect pet food donations each year,” said Genevieve Frederick, founder of Pets of the Homeless. “Last year, we collected more than a ton of food. We are thankful to partner with FISH to ensure all the donations stay in Carson City, helping people here who need it most.”
To donate and help fill the pickup truck, you can bring new and sealed pet food donations of any size to Michael Hohl Chevy Buick GMC Cadillac, located at 3700 S. Carson St. in Carson City.
Frederick founded Pets of the Homeless in 2006 to give animals the food their owners cannot provide. Since garnering nonprofit status in 2008, the organization has collected nearly 650 tons of pet food.
