Richmond’s temporary modular housing received a donation of pet essentials from a dog rescue group to help support pet owners struggling through COVID-19.

On Friday, a total of six bags of dog food, three dog beds and a couple blankets were donated to dog owners living at the temporary modular housing building from Thank Dog I am Out (TDIAO) – a Vancouver-based dog rescue group.

Susan Patterson, founder of TDIAO, Mary Milton, staff at TDIAO, coordinated with Markus Sundiman, a volunteer, to help provide food and comfort for dog owners at Richmond’s temporary modular housing.

“We hope to continue helping those struggling to feed their furbabies during this COVID-19 chaotic time,” said TDIAO on their Facebook page.

The temporary modular housing is home to 40 residents and is run by RainCity Housing.
