Pet food is desperately needed for the Meals-on-Wheels program, AniMeals, because the Burleson Animal Shelter has run out of donated food.
In February, the City of Burleson partnered with Meals-on-Wheels of Johnson and Ellis Counties to use pet food donated to the Burleson Animal Shelter to feed the pets of Meals-on-Wheels clients. The food is delivered to the more than 30 homebound elderly and disabled clients in Burleson once a month. During the last delivery, the clients on one of the routes did not get any food for their pets, and clients on another route did not get enough to feed their four-legged friends.
Anyone who wants to be part of AniMeals may drop off donated pet food at the Burleson Animal Shelter, 1695 John Jones Dr. (FM 731 South) between 11 a.m. and 6 p.m., Tuesday-Friday and 11 a.m.-4 p.m. on Saturdays.
Burleson Animal Shelter animals are kept on a Science Diet program, so food donated to the Burleson shelter is not used for the rescued animals, but it is donated to the pets of Meals-on-Wheels clients.
