We currently have three community service projects underway.  FIRST — Peace River Women’s Shelter.  We donate soap to their women — a small thing such as a warm bath with a beautiful soap is a tiny luxury for those looking to leave abusive situations.  SECOND:  Two involve our Doggie Soap in order to:  raise money for the local SPCA; and to supply soap to our servicemen and women overseas.

For each bar of Doggie Soap sold, we donate $1.00 to our local SPCA (Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals).  We adopted Sarah Seuss, Polk County’s original Reading Therapy Dog, from the Lakeland SPCA . She served Polk County Schools and worked with students in the classroom for over ten years, and was nominated for “Volunteer of the Year” in 2010, at Boswell Elementary School. She was a diamond in the “Ruff!”

DOG SOAP FOR DOG TAGS

The second project is called “Dog Soap for Dog Tags.”  We have found that our servicemen and women in certain parts of Afghanistan are fighting a sand flea infestation problem that makes it difficult to do their assigned duties and also to sleep.  They have been requesting flea collars to wear on their belts and around their boots.  We are currently partnering with Soldiers’ Angels in Pasadena, California, to provide Doggie Soap to our troops to repel the sand fleas naturally without chemicals.  If you would like to donate to this worthy project, please contact Jane at (863)299-1030.  My father was a WWII veteran, and Curt is a Vietnam Veteran (smile).
