“At Petsense, we are excited to help these communities by providing much-needed food to the local shelters,” said Matthew Rubin, Senior Vice President and General Manager of Petsense. “By partnering with BPF, which shares our commitment of supporting shelters and responsible pet adoption, we are able to maximize the impact of the donation and provide even more facilities with this essential product.”

Petsense regularly works alongside local animal shelters and rescues to help bring awareness to the importance of finding forever homes for pets in need. The retailer hosts National Adoptathon events semi-annually at all of its stores, while each store also hosts monthly adoption events to provide extra support to the shelters and rescues in local communities. Since 2005, Petsense has helped save more than 100,000 animal lives through these events, as well as its in-store cat adoption centers.

BPF has a partner network of over 5,500 animal welfare organizations in all 50 states and Canada, and provides resources to underserved communities, including helping to reduce the number of animals in shelters and rescues through pet adoption, spay/neuter programs, vaccinations, microchipping and emergency support.
