Presto Pets


“Saving one dog will not change the world. 
But surely for that one dog, the world will change forever!”

As if we don’t have enough to already work on with our business, I have a project that I’ve had in mind for a little over a year now. It’s called Presto Pets and the purpose is to collect items for shelters that are in need. I have a huge heart for animals and especially shelters so we want to make an impact.


When I was 6 I decided I was going to be a vet, and I was very headstrong about it. Obviously life likes to throw you curve balls and change your mind completely. I’m so glad I’m in the magic. But due to my growing up with my grandmother having a farm and me just constantly rescuing animals, my passion will probably always be helping animals.
I’m the loser that will pull off on the side of the road with a box of treats in the back of my car ready to convince a dog to safely cross the street. I’ve yanked my car out in front of people and cut them off so that ducks could cross. I’ve cried countless times over road kill.
I just can’t help where my heart hurts at.
With that being said, I really always wanted to volunteer at a shelter but for some reason they aren’t always the nicest people to work with, so I’ve decided a different approach.
Last year we were able to do this for a shelter is Columbia, SC and we collected a LOT of stuff. I was extremely impressed with what we collected. And then when we went to drop off the items we spent an hour or so playing with all the animals.


I want to do this every month. The problem is finding shelters that are actually grateful for donations. 
We obviously need to find smaller shelters that really do need the help. I’ve found a couple here in the Myrtle Beach area. And we want to contact them and find some places we can use for drop off points.
Be praying that we find the right direction for this project! I really want to make an impact on animals' lives!

I've also started a fan page for it, so go like it please!
