Some MTSU students are collecting donations to help keep people’s beloved pets healthy.

Kavarshia Weeks, an MTSU animal science major from Memphis, Tenn., and other young women who are rushing to become members of Sigma Alpha sorority are collecting items for the Brown Dog Foundation through Oct. 30.

The Brown Dog Foundation (www.browndogfoundation.org) is a Tennessee-chartered not-for-profit organization that helps pay the veterinary bills of people who cannot afford their pet’s medical treatment.

Donations needed include boxes of file folders, books of stamps, assorted dog and cat toys, assorted dog and cat treats, No. 10 envelopes (preferably Redi-Strip) and reams of paper, preferably HP bright white-96 for letterhead and regular recycled paper for other uses.

To donate, drop off items in Room 100 of the Stark Agriculture Building on the MTSU campus through Oct. 30. A printable campus map is available at http://tinyurl.com/MTSUParkingMap13-14.
