The Lincoln Animal Ambassadors’ Pet Food Bank has received a wonderfully generous donation of 10 pallets of cat and dog food.   It is stored in a storage unit currently and we need to physically inventory and re-arrange it in the unit so we can easily distribute food when it is requested.   Looking for volunteers who can help with this project on:

Sunday, October 18^th

1:30 p.m.

Integrity Storage

1542 South 1^st Street

Lincoln, NE

Unit # M-04

The LAA Pet Food Bank distributed its first pet food on September 13^th and has distributed food on a weekly basis since that time.  

Please e-mail Mary Douglas at  mdouglas@remboltludtke.com or call Mary at (402) 540-7017.  Mary can provide a map to the storage unit if you are willing to help. 

What’s going on with Lincoln Animal Ambassadors? Great things! Won’t you join them?

Trap-Neuter-Release Ordinance: We had discussed our proposed TNR city ordinance with Bruce Dart, Director of the Lancaster County Health Dept. He has read our proposed ordinance and that they would prefer to ask the City Attorney to submit the ordinance that the Animal Control office had submitted several years ago to the City Counsel, along with a dangerous dog ordinance. Bruce indicated that the City Counsel is focused on a dangerous dog ordinance now with recent events and he feels they will be wanting to pass something soon regarding that matter, and they hope to slip the TNR ordinance into that same issue with the City Counsel They see that happening this fall sometime, once budget matters are taken care of with the City.

Pet Food Bank: I have also been in contact with Hill Pet Foods asking for some donations for our proposed Pet Food Bank. They declined but suggested we talk with local merchants to fund that bank. I have had a verbal conversation with someone at Super Saver about getting their broken bags of food, and will soon be writing a letter to the home office of B&R stores.

Spay/Neuter Challenge: We are proposing a letter campaign to challenge city leaders and prominent people in the community to donate to a spay/neuter project for low cost spay/neuter. In conjunction with this we will also be promoting a letter campaign to all the veterinarians in the Lincoln community to donate or discount spay/neuters for this project.
