Industry Restaurant and Bar in Sparta is collecting pet supplies and donations for both One Step Closer Animal Rescue (OSCAR) and Father John’s Animal House this weekend.
Industry owner Steve Scro was inspired to host the fundraiser after learning about the influx of pandemic pets shelters have continued to receive over the past two years.
“This is an important one for me,” said Scro, who has two cats of his own from Father John’s. “Both of those animal shelters...They put their heart and soul into these animals.”
Both shelters expressed excitement over the opportunity to partner together with Industry, and keep their animals fed and happy through the holiday season. Father John’s Animal House takes in approximately 800 dogs and cats each year. OSCAR’s kennel is always full, and has approximately 60 mouths to feed every day.
