Please forward this news to your Federal Governmental friends and ask they consider designating PET International (CFC #38749) as one of their charities of choice.

We finished moving everything in the PET shop to a storage location Sunday afternoon (March 18). Now we need to find a new home. Everyone keep your eyes and ears open and let us know if you come across something that might work as a temporary home for PET Austin. We will continue to pursue a permanent solution for the PET shop.
I would like to thank all of the volunteers that came out and helped us throughout the last two weeks as we have broken everything down at the shop and moved it to storage.

A Special Thanks to Lake Travis UMC Youth
On March 12, a group of Lake Travis UMC Youth came out and helped at the PET Shop. Since we were in the process of moving the shop to storage, they did not get to do much of the really fun things like working on PETs. However, they very graciously helped us move a lot of materials to the storage location. PET Austin really appreciates their help.

PET Austin Has to Move
Due to changes in the property where PET Austin is currently located, the PET shop will be moving. The shop will officially be vacated by March 15. We will begin to move everything into temporary storage and will continue to work at the shop. We have been expecting this and are planning to meet our current commitment to Bethany UMC to build 40 PETs for Lent. We have been building parts and will be planning some work days that will take place at Bethany to finish, assemble and pack the PETs. Check the calendar for when these work days will occur.
As soon as we have a new home, we will be needing help to move and set the shop back up. Then we will be able to get back to normal operations.
This is only a bump in the road for PET Austin. This is God’s ministry and when it is over, PET Austin will be better and stronger than ever.
