KENNEWICK, Wash. -The Red
Cross of the Tri-Cities hopes to teach pet owners a new trick of coming out and
giving blood.
The mobile blood donor
van will be parked outside PetSmart on Canal Drive in Kennewick between noon
and 5 p.m. Tuesday.
Store
manager Patrick McKennon says he's shooting to break last year's donation
totals.
"Our goal
was 54 units and we hit 62, so we did very well supporting the local red cross and
doing something a little different in the community."
To
set up a blood donation, call PetSmart at 735-3101.
