Four Leading Pet Advocates Come Together to Award a Pet Shelter with 10,000 Meals

Right before Paul Mann founded Fetch! Pet Care, the nation’s largest dog walking and pet sitting franchise, in 2002, he rescued an abandoned and severely distressed cat from the San Francisco SPCA named Finnigan. Finnigan had multiple issues when Mann took him in, including food deprivation.  At that time, Mann resolved that he would help more than just two rescued pets (Mann later rescued a dog named Milo).  That time has come as Fetch! Pet Care has put together a campaign so that other great rescue stories could shine in the hope that more pets could be helped.

Together with The Bark magazine, Halo Purely forPets, and FreeKibble.com, Mann’s Fetch! Pet Care will host a nationwide contest titled The Rescue Who Rescued Me for pet owners to share their tale of how they saved a pet through rescue or adoption.  The person whose picture or video submission receives the most votes of their rescued pet will be awarded the opportunity to select the pet shelter of their choice in which FreeKibble will donate 10,000 free meals, equivalent to 2,500 pounds of pet food.

“I got into the pet industry because I wanted to help pets everywhere receive the best care possible.  I had experienced and heard of too many horror stories about pets not being treated respectfully.  This nationwide contest is a way to bring out all those great rescue stories from people who are heroes in their own right,” said Mann.  “Luckily, we have some great partners that are equally invested in the proper care for pets and are allowing us the opportunity to award 10,000 meals of Halo Spot’s Stew pet food to a deserving shelter that needs it now more than ever.”

In order for rescuers to share their stories, they can submit their photos or videos and descriptions on Fetch! Pet Care’s Facebook Fan page at www.facebook.com/fetchcorporate through the “Rescue Who Rescued Me Contest” link from Nov. 16 to Dec. 18.  The Grand Prize winner will be featured in the March edition of The Bark magazine and the shelter of the winner’s choosing will receive 10,000 free nutritious meals of Halo’s Spot’s Stew from FreeKibble.com.

“We believe that the collection of these photos, videos and stories will help promote awareness for pets that need good homes and families to love and care for them,” said Mann, “We encourage everyone to spread the word and promote adopting a rescue pet this holiday season.”

Rescue a Shelter Dog... and Get a Loyal Sidekick for All of Life's Adventures

You can save the day for a homeless dog -- and find a faithful companion who will be at your side for all of life's adventures -- by adopting a dog from your local shelter or breed-rescue group during American Humane's Adopt-A-Dog Month® in October.

Adopting a dog is a heroic feat that's easy to perform, and animal shelters and breed-rescue groups are filled with amazing dogs: large, small, mixed breeds, even purebreds. In fact, millions of loyal, lovable dogs are surrendered to our nation's animal welfare organizations every year because their owners simply couldn't take care of them anymore. Now they're homeless -- and just waiting for a hero like you!

During Adopt-A-Dog Month, we encourage you to visit your local shelter or breed-rescue group, meet potential sidekicks and discover the many super-size benefits of having a dog: happiness, companionship, improved physical and emotional health, and devoted love. Dogs also encourage people to exercise, enhance family and social relationships, promote laughter and act as a nonjudgmental audience and sounding board. No that's super!

American Humane works year-round to support animal welfare organizations, promote adoptions and enhance the bond that people share with their companion animals. And each year during Adopt-A-Dog Month, we give shelters tools and resources to continue fostering connections between people and pets.

If you're ready to find your very own faithful canine companion, check out American Humane's resources to learn about the adoption centers, shelter and rescue groups, and adoption stories.
