Rescue Releaf: September Roundup
We’re highlighting the rescue organizations we’ve donated to this September for our Rescue Releaf program! With your help, we have been able to donate our Edibites and Boom Bars to rescues all across the country. In our Rescue Releaf initiative, we’re asking pet parents to nominate the rescue organizations that are near and dear to their hearts. Whether you specifically volunteer at a 501(c)3 certified organization or you just rescued a pup and want to show some love to the organization, please fill out our Rescue Releaf form. We hope that our donations of Pet Releaf Edibites and Boom Bars will help provide a calmer transition for these rescue animals as they head into the shelter or into their forever homes.
So far, we’ve had the opportunity to donate over 8,000+ bags of Edibites and 2,200+ Boom Bars, equivalent to $179,700 to 125 rescue organizations and counting! We want to send a huge thank you to all of the rescue organizations that are working hard during this time to give these rescue animals the absolute best lives possible.
