Helping sick or injured shelter pets has never been easier, thanks to a special campaign that helps animal shelters and rescue groups with veterinary costs for the pets in their care. Here’s how you can help: For each new “Like” we receive on our Facebook page between now and May 31st, we’re now adding $.25 (up to $20,000) to the Purina Veterinary Diets® Adopt-a-Pet.com Veterinary Care Fund, which gives grants to animal shelters and rescue organizations to offset the veterinary costs of pets in their care. It’s that simple!
The Purina Veterinary Diets® Adopt-a-Pet.com Veterinary Care Fund was established in 2011 with an initial donation of $50,000 from Purina Veterinary Diets® . Be sure to check out the recipients of the Purina Veterinary Diets® Adopt-a-Pet.com Veterinary Care Fund 2011 program.
You can still help by spreading the word of this life-saving campaign and encouraging others to participate. Email your friends and suggest they “Like” us on Facebook.Did you like this article? Click an icon below to share it on Facebook, Twitter, and more!
