The entire month of January, Baer
Photography will be accepting one large bag of Science Diet pet food
as payment for a pet session fee. All pet food and a portion of all
sales from the sessions will be donated to the Kearney Area Animal
Shelter.
Brian Baer, portrait artist and owner
of Baer Photography in Kearney says, “Our family admires the work
done by the Kearney Area Animal Shelter in our community, and we want
to use our talents to help with their mission.” Baer added, “This
will be the third year we've run this fundraiser. Last year we
surprised everyone by raising almost 3000 pounds of kibble! This years goal
is 4000 pounds.”
Baer says the promotion is simple and
straight forward. In exchange for a donation, Baer Photography will
create a professional portrait of your pet, or create a family
portrait which includes your pet.
According to Jamie Jensen, Director of
Operations at the Kearney Animal Shelter, “Food is a large expense
for our shelter.” Jensen noted that last years donations from this
project brought in enough food to feed every animal in the shelter
for almost 2 months. “We are very appreciative and happy to accept
approved items, monetary donations and we are always looking for
additional volunteers.” An official wish list and volunteer
application can be found at

adoption hours are Monday thru Friday 1-5 p.m., Saturday 10 a.m. - 4
