Thanks to Pets Global and local communities, over 120,000 pounds of donated pet food have been delivered to areas affected by the hurricane.
In the wake of Hurricanes Helene and Milton, over 120,000 lbs of high-quality pet food have been distributed to communities in the Southeastern U.S., proving a vital resource for pet owners impacted by the devastating storms. Pets Global, in collaboration with local college students, small businesses, and animal welfare organizations, has ensured that those affected have access to essential nourishment for their pets during these challenging times.
Pets Global is dedicated to making high-quality pet food accessible to as many pet parents as possible. Their commitment shone brightly as they mobilized efforts across North Carolina, Virginia, Tennessee, Kentucky, West Virginia, Georgia, and Florida, delivering more than 60 tons of premium pet nutrition. This initiative has not only provided food but has also brought hope to many pet owners striving to maintain care for their beloved animals while recovering from the hurricanes.
The company teamed up with trusted partners like Southeast Pet and Pet Source, along with dedicated volunteers from Emory & Henry University, to reach even the most severely affected areas. Local animal shelters such as the Smyth County Animal Shelter, Animal Shelter of Sullivan County, and Blue Ridge Humane have been instrumental in distributing these supplies, ensuring that no pet goes hungry.
The impact of these hurricanes stretches beyond just physical damage; they have disrupted lives and left many in precarious situations. As Ericka Gamble from the Animal Shelter of Sullivan County, Tennessee, points out, “This area was unprepared for the magnitude of the disaster. While many lost possessions, for some, their pet is all that remains.” It’s clear that in times of crisis, the comfort and companionship pets provide are as crucial as ever.
By providing a variety of dog and cat foods, including products from their trusted brands like Zignature, Fussie Cat, Inception, and Essence, Pets Global has helped ensure that families can focus on rebuilding their lives, knowing their pets are well cared for.
The logistical effort to organize and distribute this volume of pet food across several states required precise coordination and was no small feat. From their base in Southern California, Pets Global worked diligently to ensure these critical supplies were delivered efficiently. Ellie Mosser, a Community Relations Specialist at Pets Global and an alum of Emory & Henry, highlights the importance of supporting local communities and independent retailers, reinforcing the company’s commitment to grassroots efforts.
Pets Global’s actions exemplify how corporate responsibility and compassion can intersect to produce tangible help for both people and pets in times of need. This family-owned company continues to prioritize the health and wellness of pets nationwide, ensuring pets and their owners can thrive together even under the most difficult circumstances.
