Pet Supplies Plus Continues Annual Partnership
to Support Animal Welfare in the United
States
LIVONIA,
Mich., July 10, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Pet Supplies
Plus, the largest and most trusted pet retail franchise in
the United States, recently
donated $25,000 to Best Friends
Animal Society through the sales of toys from the 2023 summer and
holiday seasons. As a leading animal welfare organization working
to end the killing of cats and dogs in America's shelters by 2025,
Best Friends Animal Society is committed to saving the lives of
homeless pets and works collaboratively with a network of more than
4,700 animal welfare and shelter partners, and community members
nationwide.
For the fourth consecutive year, Pet Supplies Plus partnered
with Best Friends to support their mission of making every shelter
and community no-kill by 2025. The animal welfare organization
received 10% of proceeds from the sale of ice cream plush toys sold
during the 2023 summer months and giraffe, wolf and red panda plush
toys sold during the 2023 holiday season at Pet Supplies Plus. With
each purchase of these toys, neighbors were supporting the
organization's mission, and as a result, $25,000 was donated to help animals across the
nation.
"Each individual at our company, from the leadership team to
every store team member, is dedicated to caring for and ensuring
the well-being of all animals," said Chris Rowland, CEO of Pet Supplies Plus.
"We're honored to extend our partnership with Best Friends Animal
Society for the fourth year in a row, united in our goal to bring
comfort and support to sheltered animals across the
country."
In addition to running life-saving programs in Los Angeles, Houston, New York
City, Northwest Arkansas,
and Salt Lake City, the
organization operates the nation's largest no-kill sanctuary for
companion animals, the Best Friends Animal Sanctuary, in
Kanab, Utah. As a pioneer in the
no-kill movement, Best Friends has helped reduce the number of
animals killed in shelters nationwide from an estimated two million
to around 415,000.
"For the past four years, Pet Supplies Plus has raised funds for
us through a fun and innovative campaign," said Candi Maciel, Director of Corporate Partnerships
at Best Friends Animal Society. "The Charity Plush campaign has
consistently engaged consumers and allowed Pet Supplies Plus to be
involved in the critical lifesaving work we are doing to Save Them
All. We look forward to what fun next year will bring!"
