BI-LO is committed to helping the community and its customers receive the resources they need to care for the ones they love during tough financial times. BI-LO’s care extends beyond the reach of just individuals and family members to also include beloved household pets.

Beginning today Tuesday, April 9, and lasting until Tuesday, April 30, BI-LO will host its fourth annual PAWS “Feed the Love” campaign. “Feed the Love” is a pet food drive in which food donations go to local-area food banks for families in need to be able to provide food for the four-legged members of their families.

Shoppers can purchase a $5 bag of pet food with the MY BI-LO BONUSCARD, and the food will be picked up by or delivered to the store’s food bank partner.

Town Council approves animal control ordinance

At their regularly scheduled meeting on February 12, the Indian Trail Town Council approved a new Animal Control Ordinance that will take effect April 1.

Modeled after Lake Park’s Animal Control Ordinance, the Indian Trail Animal Control Ordinance adopted by the Town Council acknowledges and confirms the authority granted to Union County under the previous adoption of the Union County Animal Control Ordinance.

The ordinance includes a new leash law requiring any dog that is off the owner’s property to be on a leash and have an identification tag. The ordinance does not contain any regulations regarding farm animals or exotic pets.

Town Council member Darlene Luther said, "This new leash law ordinance is the first step to keep residents safe from wandering animals.
