Twister

This is Twister, an animal cruelty rescue dog who inspired us to start a community pet food bank. We are an eco-conscious household and we do many things to help impact how we treat the world around us. We bake his morning biscuits so no packaging is needed. We buy hemp or recycled product toys and collars. We make his bedding out of old blankets and beds. We recycle all of the paperboard and packaging from his evening meals. In addition, Twister teaches other people at a local vet hospital about how to care for special needs dogs while still being eco-friendly. He has to have his bladder expressed (his back was broken at his previous owners) and he teaches people that those puppy training pads are totally unnecessary. You can make reuseable ones out of old infant crib mattress covers and towels!

One last thing-- Twister inspires our community to reuse and recycle by being the inspiration and posterchild for our pet food bank. He gives people a place to donate leftover food and supplies and then redistributes it to people in need. We are currently helping over 1200 families a month-- all because of this one special smiling face!!!
