Mercy Care to host Paws for a Cause benefitting their new program,

Posted By: | October 20, 2012

MYRTLE BEACH, S.C. – Mercy Care has partnered with Jersey Mike's Subs in Conway and WPDE TV15 for Paws for a Cause fundraiser/donation drive. The event will take place on Saturday, October 20, 2012, from 11:00 a.m. – 3:00 p.m. at Jersey Mike's Subs in Conway.

Through the whole month of October, Jersey Mike's will be donating $0.50 for every regular and $1.00 for every #8 club sub. There will also be donation boxes at all 3 locations for items like crates, leashes and collars. There will also be adoptable animals from the Horry County Animal Control and a local-celebrity judged pet trick contest.

Pet Peace of Mind allows patients to complete their end of life journey without worrying about their pet's current or future needs. The initiative provides volunteer pet care services for patients who are unable to care for their pets while on hospice. Services include assistance with pet food, financial assistance with routine veterinary care, transportation to veterinary appointments, pet boarding and walking, pain and comfort medications when needed and more.

"We are thrilled to introduce "Pet Peace of Mind" at Mercy Care. Each day, we strive to meet the physical, spiritual and emotional needs of our patients and their families. This program supports emotional needs in a significant way," said Sara-Jo Faucher, executive director and CEO of Mercy Care. "The human-pet bond is incredibly special. If we can help keep a patient and their pet together, that's a huge comfort."

For more information about the Pet Peace of Mind program or to make a donation, please contact Jennifer Beverly, Volunteer Program Manager at Mercy Care, at 843.848.6480 or visit www.mercyhospice.org.
