Stella & Chewy’s to Cover Adoption Fees for Senior Pets Through November
To help make senior pet adoption easy and accessible, Stella & Chewy’s will be offering adoption fee reimbursement for senior pets age 5+ rescued from any shelter across the US and Canada throughout the month of November – National Adopt a Senior Pet Month. Stella & Chewy’s will reimburse up to $100,000 in adoption fees or 500 adoptions this month.
Senior pets are often already potty trained, well-behaved and have a wealth of knowledge from their years of experience. In fact, 71 percent of pet owners agree that their pet has gotten smarter with age, according to a recent survey conducted by premium raw pet food brand Stella & Chewy’s. However, senior dogs have a 25 percent adoption rate compared to the 60 percent adoption rate of younger dogs, underscoring the need for families to provide these senior pets with the raw, unfiltered love they deserve.
The program, now in its fourth year, builds upon Stella & Chewy’s commitment to senior pets as part of the brand’s Journey Home Fund program, which aims to bring awareness to adult and senior pet adoption while ensuring shelter pets have best-in-class nutrition. It also underscores the core mission of the brand’s recent “All You Need is Raw” campaign, which highlights the raw, unfiltered love our pets give to us every day. To date, the Journey Home Fund program has driven more than 1,000 adult and senior pet adoptions, donated 6.5 million meals to shelter pets and covered more than $270K in adoption fees.
“One of Stella & Chewy’s core beliefs is that senior pets deserve unconditional love,” said Marie Moody, founder of Stella & Chewy’s. “In many ways, senior pets are smarter than their younger counterparts because they may have mastered basic training, while having just as much love and companionship to give to their new families, so they shouldn’t be passed up due to age.”
Pet parents who adopt a senior shelter pet during the month of November can visit Stella and Chewy’s to submit adoption forms for up to $200 fee reimbursement. Additionally, Stella & Chewy’s is providing these new senior pet parents with a $40 value voucher to redeem toward any Stella & Chewy’s product to ensure these senior pets will thrive in their new homes.
