Fetch! Pet Care featured on Life With Dogs

Fetch! Pet Care was recently featured on Life With Dogs in a blog post titled, "Mugsy's Legacy: Adopted Dog Provides 10,000 Meals For His Rescue Shelter." The feature details the story of Kathy Hicky and Ryan Henderlong, who, after losing their Newfoundland named Gus, decided to adopt Mugsy through Big Dogs Huge Paws. Kathy and Ryan quickly grow a close bond with Mugsy and decided to submit their story to Fetch! Pet Care's "Rescue Who Rescued Me" Facebook search to donate 10,000 meals from Freekibble.com to Mugsy's adoption center. Mugsy's story won the contest, however, a day later, Kathy and Ryan had to say goodbye to Mugsy - they later learned he had extensive damage from bb's, trauma from a possible car accident, and osteosarcoma, a form of bone cancer. Even though the story is a sad one, it calls out the need for older pets to be adopted and loved. Click here to view the entire post.
