We’re thrilled that the PETS Project recently received two fabulous write-ups in the New York media.
On November 1st the New York Daily News included a full-page article profiling the PETS. The article highlighted the unique service model PETS offers both clients and volunteers. The article quotes 93-year old Maria Zhorella, a former opera singer from Vienna and PETS Project client. Ms. Zhorella and her 16-year-old Tibetan terrier, Maxie, rely on regular support from the PETS Project volunteer corps. Ms. Zhorella told the New York Daily News that “without them, I would be lost…They are all so wonderful, and smart, and kind.”
We were so pleased that the Daily News Article has led to an increase in individual donations and volunteer inquiries.
The PETS Project was also profiled in the Thanksgiving issue of Time Out New York. The brief write-up highlighted volunteer opportunities with PETS and the program’s Thanksgiving pet food drive. Time Out New York reaches a large audience and we are already seeing an increase in volunteer inquiries from the exposure.
