“With over 8,600 nominations this year, it was extremely
difficult to narrow it down to ten finalists,” said Phil Reiter,
vice president of national and local marketing at Tractor Supply.
“These Rescue Your Rescue finalists demonstrate excellent care and
compassion toward the animals they rescue, and Tractor Supply is
honored to support these organizations.”
In addition to the Rescue Your Rescue contest, Tractor Supply
Company showcased its passion for animals by hosting its annual Out
Here with Animals event to recognize pets, animals and the people
who love and care for them. The event featured pet adoptions, pet
treat tastings and special deals and giveaways to celebrate pets of
all kinds.
Tractor Supply also partnered with Miranda Lambert’s MuttNation
Foundation to host a pet supplies drive in support of local animal
shelters across the country. Throughout the Out Here with Animals
celebration, customers have donated new and sealed food, toys,
cleaning and grooming supplies and other pet accessories including
beds, leashes and bowls. The monthlong donation drive concluded
with a nationwide pet adoption event on Saturday, Aug. 24. All
collected items will be donated to nearby rescues and shelters.
