As you know, here at DogTipper we’re all about helping get more dogs into happy homes so any news that comes across our desk that helps that cause is definitely good news! Here’s some great news: BISSELL Homecare Inc., a company that has long been an advocate for pet adoption, has announced that it be providing a series of grants to the Petfinder.com Foundation, a 501(c)(3) organization that works to end the euthanasia of adoptable pets by providing resources and support services to animal adoption organizations across North America.
How You Can Help Through Facebook
Beginning this summer, for each new fan that registers on BISSELL’s Facebook page, the company will make a donation to the Petfinder.com Foundation in order to reach its goal of contributing a total of $50,000.
How BISSELL Supports Petfinder.com Foundation
BISSELL’s support of the Petfinder.com Foundation will consist of several grants designed to reach a number of shelters across North America, with one larger grant funding an Animal Lifeline trip in 2011. Animal Lifeline is a support organization for rescues, shelters and municipal groups that partners with the Petfinder.com Foundation to take groups of student volunteers and animal care professionals to provide education and resources to rural shelters in great need.
Each shelter that receives a BISSELL-funded grant also will participate in the Partners for Pets program, a partnership between BISSELL and LostPetUSA.net that provides qualified animal rescue and adoption organizations with discounts for pet lovers and shelter supporters, giving supporters free shipping and 10 percent off of select pet products on bissell.com. BISSELL will then donate an additional 10 percent of the purchase price back to the pet lover’s favorite participating shelter.
Other Ways BISSELL Helps
BISSELL also supports the pet community through contributions to more than 100 U.S. pet charities totaling over $200,000 annually.
