In light of the recent California wildfires, Pet Supplies Plus, a prominent pet retail franchise in the United States, has collaborated with Natural Balance, Coastal Pet Products, and Hamilton Pet Products to assist animals affected by the disaster. This initiative involves a significant donation to Best Friends Animal Society, aimed at ensuring that displaced pets receive necessary supplies.
Pet Supplies Plus has contributed $15,000 worth of essential pet supplies, including collars, leashes, and harnesses, sourced from Coastal Pet Products and Hamilton Pet Products. In addition, the company, through its partnership with Natural Balance, has provided 1,152 pounds of dog food, valued at approximately $5,000, to support the health and welfare of pets impacted by the wildfires.
Chris Rowland, CEO of Pet Supplies Plus, acknowledged the challenges faced by both people and their pets during natural disasters. He expressed appreciation for the partnership with Best Friends Animal Society and emphasized the goal of providing relief to those in need during such difficult times.
Best Friends Animal Society, which has a longstanding relationship with Pet Supplies Plus, is a national animal welfare organization focused on ending the euthanasia of dogs and cats in shelters across the United States. The organization has been actively supporting local shelters throughout the California wildfires and is operating a pet pantry at their West L.A. Pet Adoption Center to distribute essential supplies for both pets and their owners.
Julie Castle, CEO of Best Friends Animal Society, expressed gratitude for the support from Pet Supplies Plus, noting that the donation will significantly aid efforts to keep displaced pets and their families together during this challenging period.
