KEARNEY — The entire month of January, Baer Studios of Kearney will accept one large bag of Science Diet pet food as payment for a pet session. 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 at Baer Studios, said, “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.”
This is the 10th consecutive year for the pet food promotion.
“Some years are better than others, but on average we raise enough food each year to feed every animal at the shelter for three months,” Baer said.
Olivia Derr, executive director at the Kearney Area Animal Shelter, said: “Food is a large expense for our shelter. We are also appreciative to accept approved items and monetary donations, and we are always looking for additional volunteers.”
An official wish list and volunteer application can be found at www.KearneyAnimalShelter.com.
The Kearney Area Animal Shelter is located at 3205 W. U.S. Highway 30. Regular adoption hours are 1-5 p.m. Tuesday through Friday; 10 a.m.-4 p.m. Saturday; and noon-4 p.m. Sunday. Baer Studios can be reached at 308-234-2601 or online at www.BaerPhoto.com.
