Hi Everyone! Like most people, I like to do something a little extra charitable at holiday time, usually a donation to an animal charity, but this year I got an idea to send some care packages overseas to our K9 Military handlers and soldiers (the human AND doggie soldiers). 

I asked some of The Pet Postcard Project award sponsors to donate some of their products to my little holiday endeavor (I asked only those who had things that I read on a list were OK to send to our soldiers), thinking I'd put a few treats and toys into the boxes. Well, the sponsors were feeling the holiday spirit too, because their response was overwhelming and heartwarming! Here's the video all about it: 

A huge THANK YOU to The Pet Postcard Project sponsors who gave of their hearts to show our military personnel that we care. It's not about the "stuff." It's about showing our soldiers that we have not forgotten them and that we wish, pray, and hope for their safe return.

Nikki, this is a great effort. I was so excited to read about it. I volunteer may time helping local vets address pet health issues such as dog skin problems so it's great to see others doing the same for our canine friends. I love the Pet Postcard project.

What is the Pet Postcard Project?

  • The Pet Postcard Project is a grassroots arts-and-crafts project aimed at raising food for shelter pets and awareness about the plight of homeless animals. "Pet Postcards" for this project are homemade and handmade postcards featuring your own pets that you make and then snail mail into The Pet Postcard Project. Each card you send earns food for shelter dogs and cats. So far, this project has received many thousands of funny, weird, sad, cute, and profound cards, all filled with love for a beloved pet.

    Please include a PHOTO of the animal on each card, or else we won't know who's "talking!" The words are not just captions, they are creative confessions, wishes, advice, excuses, and "you know you love your dog/cat when" ideas. Here's how to turn postcards into pet food for shelter animals!

    This site does NOT make money on this project. It's all to raise food and awareness for shelter animals.

    ADDRESS:

    The Pet Postcard Project, 676A Ninth Ave., #321, New York, NY 10036

    Pet food (and other stuff) raised for shelter animals though The Pet Postcard Project since February 14th, 2007 (approx):

    • Pounds: 342,845
    • Meals: 834,000
    • Kibbles: 283,180,000
    • Toys and Merch: $13,500
    • Monetary Donations: $19,200
    • Card Count: 36,000+

    Feeding homeless pets, one postcard at a time! All we are is one girl, one laptop, 2 dogs, great food/stuff sponsors, and a few invaluable "postcard posting" volunteers. The Pet Postcard Project started with nothing but a desire to help homeless animals, and YOUR postcards have made that happen.

    To count toward any campaign, the words on the cards shouldn't be just captions - they are ADVICE, CONFESSIONS, OR WISHES from or to the pet.

    PLEASE MAIL MULTIPLE CARDS IN AN ENVELOPE OR BOX TO SAVE PAPER AND STAMPS.
