Zuber Realty’s Pet Food Drive fills shelves of Logan’s Heroes
Zuber Realty and Zuber Insurance donated pet supplies to fill the shelves of Logan’s Heroes Animal Rescue in East Greenville.
“Pets are family; feeding and caring for them are essential services. And sometimes, when times are tough, a little extra help in providing pet food and supplies for dogs, cats, small animals, and livestock is needed,” said Zuber Realty agent and Community Outreach Committee chair Jody Dolansky.
In celebration of National Pet Insurance Month in September, Zuber Realty and Zuber Insurance held a Pet Food Drive through Oct. 15 to benefitLogan’s Heroes Animal Rescue, an organization that helps animals that have lost their homes.
“Logan’s Heroes were very grateful to receive our donations,” said Dolansky. “We filled up their dog food storage closet with well over 100 different items ranging from dog and cat food to treats, rabbit bedding, toys, and bedding.”
“We’re especially grateful to the Ladies Auxiliary of the Liberty Fire Company, New Berlinville, and K-9 Cottage, a doggie day care center, Pottstown, for their generosity,” said JoCarol Zuber, certified insurance counselor of Zuber Insurance.
Pet food and supplies for dogs, cats, small animals, and livestock were dropped off at Zuber Insurance office in Boyertown and the Zuber Realty office in Royersford.
“Our insurance office in Boyertown was filled with donations which we happily accepted,” Zuber said. “It was very heart-warming and showcased the love and loyalty folks feel for their pets.”
“And, just like the rest of our family, sometimes our pets need medical care, and it can get expensive,” added Zuber. “Pet insurance helps remove financial barriers from pet care decisions, and there are a variety of plans to suit different needs.”

Logan’s Heroes Animal Rescue
Founded in 2014 by Chris Baringer, an animal rescuer and trained humane police officer, Logan’s Heroes Animal Rescue is an all foster-based organization that gives dogs time to find a forever home. The rescue is named for abeloved late German Shepherd puppy named Logan that was fostered by Baringer many years ago.
Baringer’s current menagerie includes 2 dogs, 4 foster dogs and 4 foster cats. The rescue currently supports animals in more than 40 foster homes. Logan’sHeroes can have as many as 80 dogs and cats in
foster homes.
Expanded from just dogs and cats, the non-profit organization was moved out of Baringer’s home to a 54acre farm with the goal of providing safety to larger animals such as horses, cows, and pot-bellied pigs. The rescue currently supports three horses, a pony, a mini-horse, three cows, two goats, eight pot belly pigs, and Nemo, the big pig at the farm.
“It’s difficult to gain support for larger animals, but my 20-year vision is to leave a legacy of helping all animals in need while providing veterans with a safe place to work and heal, as needed, from trauma experienced from their service to our country,” said Baringer.
Logan’sHeroes first project for the farm is the Pig
Pen and Friends project. The project’s goal is to raise $100,000 to rebuild a dilapidated building on the farm to safely house more pot belly pigs, add a run-in and more fencing for the rescues three cows, Ella, Jolene and Amber, and build new barn for Nemo, a very large market pig that survived a fire two years ago.
To date, the rescue has raised $25,000 toward the project and construction for the first phase is planned to start in January 2022.
