Pet Lovers Raise Nearly $140,000 for California Wildfire Animal Relief
San Diego, Calif. (PRWEB) October 30, 2007 -- Through the PETCO Foundation's Emergency Round Up Fundraiser (http://www.petco.com/Content/Donations.aspx?PC=donations&Nav=394&cm_re=oct3102307-_-wildfires-_-topstripe&cm_ven=blog&cm_cat=fireroundup&cm_pla=102407&cm_ite=donations&cm_ven=pr&cm_cat=fireupdate&cm_pla=103007&cm_ite=donation), pet lovers across the nation have donated nearly $140,000 to benefit the more than 19,000 animals affected by the California wildfires.
The 10-day program, effective Oct. 24 through Nov. 3, is a nationwide opportunity for PETCO customers to "round up" their purchases to the next highest dollar as a contribution to the Foundation. All donations will go toward the Foundation's ongoing efforts to aid animals affected by the fires and other incidents.
PETCO and its vendors, along with the PETCO Foundation have provided products valued at more than $300,000 to evacuation centers and animal welfare groups throughout Southern California and continue to support relief efforts.
Stories of that support and a video (http://www.petconews.com/index.html) highlighting PETCO's and the Foundation's efforts is now available on the company's blog, PETCONews.com (http://www.petconews.com/index.html), where animal lovers can get the latest news on anything and everything PETCO - from updates about the company to incredible acts of animal kindness.
