An animal rescue group is helping the homeless take care of their pets.
TAMPA, Fla. - Three years ago a rescue group saw an increasing need within the homeless community to provide food for their animal companions. The Community Pet Project started in June of 2017 as a division of a local rescue, explained Rhonda Eldridge, president of Community Pet Project.
Local food banks saw an increase in homeless people they were serving arriving with furry friends, and volunteers noticed that their clients were feeding the donated food to their pets instead of eating.
