The Woodlands Heating & Air Conditioning on a mission to reduce amount of homeless pets

THE WOODLANDS, Texas - The Woodlands Heating and Air Conditioning is on a mission to reduce the homeless pet population. This summer, the locally owned, full service heating and air company is teaming up with Operation Pets Alive to help four-legged friends find homes this summer with the Dog Days of Summer Fundraiser.

“There are many rescue and adoption organizations, but I’ve never seen any organizations as focused and committed as the Operation Pets Alive folks are," said Phil Musial, the Operations Manager at The Woodlands Heating and Air Conditioning.

The company's goal is to raise $10,000 by August 30, 2014. Currently, the fundraiser has brought in $5,705. The Woodlands Heating and Air Conditioning matches, dollar for dollar, donations up to $5,000.

“We just really love animals! It’s sad to see so many animals in need, and we thought this fundraiser would help," said Musial.

Operation Pets Alive is a non-profit organization bringing awareness to the community regarding the No-Kill movement and the plight of homeless dogs and cats in the community. They use innovative programs that raise awareness and reduce the number of dogs and cats entering shelters, while increasing the number of dogs and cats that leave.

“They want to help people ‘do the right thing’ for animals,” said Musial.

The Grand Finale Pet Adoption and Raffle Event will be held at the Lone Star Ace Hardware located at 2111 Rayford Road on August 30th, from 11am to 3pm with raffles starting at 1pm. The celebration will be a great opportunity to see the passionate people at OPA who dedicate their time to help the homeless animals right here in The Woodlands area. One hundred percent of the funds that are raised will be going directly to helping local pets find their forever homes. For every $10 someone donates, they will receive one raffle ticket. There will be great raffles prizes, cool refreshments, and of course plenty of furry friends to adopt!
