Paws for a Cause

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 www.KearneyHumane.com The Kearney Area Animal Shelter is located at 3205 W. Hwy 30. Regular adoption hours are Monday thru Friday 1-5 p.m., Saturday 10 a.m. - 4 p.m. and Sunday Noon- 4 p.m.
