You lose some… to win some! Morris Animal Inn’s Pounds for
Hounds fundraiser had staff eating healthy and exercising to lose weight for a
good cause.
This annual event, which took place over a three month
period from January through March, is a popular weight loss inspiration for
staff at Morris Animal Inn because it means more than just getting healthy: for
every pound our staff loses, we donate 10 lbs. of food to an animal shelter. This year, our food goes to Eleventh Hour Rescue
Animal Shelter in Randolph, NJ!
After months of hard work, weigh-ins and healthy eating, our
staff went above and beyond for our highest total yet: combined we lost a total
of 199 lbs! Our final donation to Eleventh Hour was 45 33 pound bags of
Fromm dog food and 33 cases of California Natural canned food. Adding it all
together, that’s nearly 1500 lbs of dry food, plus the 33 cases of cans!
This hard-earned food will be put to good use at Eleventh
Hour Rescue, a shelter that focuses on saving animals from kill shelters and
finding them foster and permanent homes.
This year, our Grooming staff participants topped our
weigh-in charts with nearly 5% weight loss. Congratulations to our groomers and
all our staff participants on taking healthy steps to help shelter dogs get
healthy, too!
