Georgetown, Texas Unites for Flood Relief
Independent pet stores in Georgetown, Texas, are rallying together this July 2025 to provide essential support to local flood victims and their beloved pets following a catastrophic flooding incident on July 4th. Stores such as Tail Waggins Bakery, Woof Gang Bakery, Pupology, and Wag Heaven are leading the charge as donation drop-off points for those affected.
How Stores Are Helping
The participating pet stores have established themselves as critical hubs for aiding the community in its time of need. They are actively working with the Kerville and Williamson County Regional Animal Shelters to coordinate relief efforts for pets and their owners impacted by the floods. In addition to serving as donation sites, each store is facilitating awareness by providing discounts on pet foods, supplies, and treats that customers can contribute to the cause.
Moreover, these independent stores are enhancing their donation drives by partnering with leading distributors and manufacturers in the pet care industry. This collaboration aims to maximize the amount and variety of supplies available for those in need.
The Human Touch
The emotional link between community members and their pets underscores the urgency of this initiative. Owners of participating stores have shared personal stories that highlight the emotional toll the floods have taken. The owner of Woof Gang Bakery has felt the impact of the recent tragedy acutely, as she noted losses experienced by a groomer’s family. These heartfelt connections have inspired the store owners to do everything possible to provide relief for their community.
The owner of Pupology has called attention to the pressing need for assistance, particularly for families and pets who are struggling to cope with the aftermath of the flooding. An emphasis on unity and mutual support resonates throughout this effort, as community members come together to help one another.
Impact on Local Animal Shelters
Local animal shelters are facing an overwhelming influx of animals as a result of the floods. Jeff Manley from Wag Heaven has stressed the importance of supporting these shelters to ensure they have the resources needed to take care of the additional animals. Given the already strained capacity of these facilities, the community’s efforts become even more crucial.
A Commitment to Help
Each participating store has committed to donating a percentage of their sales to the relief efforts throughout July. This initiative not only supports immediate needs but also encourages customers to engage with their local pet stores while contributing to a greater cause.
To aid this effort, customers are encouraged to visit these stores and participate in donations, whether by purchasing discounted items or bringing in supplies directly. As a way to extend the outreach, each store serves as a welcoming and friendly environment for locals to drop off their contributions.
