KNOXVILLE, TN Oct.3, 2024 – Today, PetSafe has announced a one-million-dollar product donation to pets and pet parents impacted by hurricane Helene. Working with the Lion’s Club of Farragut Tennessee, the brand, who is local to Knoxville, is heartbroken over the devastation Helene has caused to neighboring communities in eastern Tennessee and North Carolina. The brand is leveraging its resources to help those in need.
Partnering with the Lions Club and powered by PetSafe Brand employees on their annual day of service, the brand dropped off PetSafe ScoopFree Premium Natural Cat Litter at their collection point in west Knoxville. The million-dollar product donation, equaling 50,000 bags of high quality, natural, odor-neutralizing cat litter was delivered for pets and pet parents in need.
"Many pet parents feel their pets are members of their families and we have learned that in times of need, people find great relief in home comforts for themselves and their pets. Although this donation is a result of a tragedy, we have a history of helping pets, their parents, and shelters in need in line with our mission to make products that bring a lifetime of joy for pets and people who love them." said Rob Candelino, CEO at PetSafe Brands. "The needs of families impacted by the hurricane are numerous, but it is our hope that we can help alleviate at least some worry and restore some level of comfort and normalcy and around pet care.
In 1998 PetSafe was founded based on a simple truth: safe and healthy pets make for happy pets and happy pet families. Since then, the brand has continued to innovate new products to help make a difference for pets and their families. The brand also has a long history of donating to pets, parents and communities in need. This year during the Big Game the brand donated over $100,000 of product to 15 shelters and the PetSafe Unleashed program has provided over 80 communities with dog parks worth over two million-dollars.
