Is the "Save Our Pets Food Bank" Dead?
I got this letter this afternoon from a user who does not want to be identified. Blockquotes is the original letter, in between is my reply. I hadn't even known my site link to them was in any of the search engines already - this site is brand new. (As you can tell since not everything is even working right now!)
Do you know if SaveOurPetsFoodBank has shut down or moved?
I went there last month and there was a for sale sign up and workers were remodeling the place and there was hardly any pet food in the warehouse. Also, whoever was supposed to be there had run off and there were like a dozen women and children just sitting there waiting in the sun and the warehouse doors were wide open. I w
aited for over an hour for someone before I gave up. Some of the other people just took food and left. I didn't think it was right to take any since I haven't even signed up yet.
As far as I know they're still open; the last blog post was six days ago.
I went back today to try again and this time the entire place was locked up. I knocked and everything and no one answered.
Here's something else that's strange. The woman at the office of my churchwho told me about them three months ago printed a page of their website for me and the hours were 9-12. Last month the hours were 10-1. Now they're 10-12.
I called the number listed and got their voicemail. The voicemail and the website both give the same address.
I'm not really sure what to tell you since I've never gotten help from them - they're too far away from me normally.
After I was laid off from my last job I did use Daffy's Pet Soup Kitchen, about two and a half months ago. I have a dog with some medical problems and they gave me some Science Diet that's worked really well.
I'm pinging a couple blogs with this post (like here that have talked about SOPFB before. Maybe they know more. In the mean time you should probably call Daffy's - they post a schedule that they keep up to date, and they also have "local offices" so you may have a branch near you.
I hope this is just paranoia. 
Update: I had to meet my mom downtown so I did a drive by on the SOPFB address. They're right across the street from the Sweetwater Brewery. There is no sign on the building indicating occupation and there is actually a for sale sign on the property.
So I have no clue what's going on. Still.
