Petco Love, Blue Buffalo give $100K to Morris Animal Foundation

Petco Love and Blue Buffalo have donated a $100,000 matching gift to Morris Animal Foundation’s Stop Cancer Furever campaign to support the Foundation’s ongoing commitment to advancing science to save animals. This annual initiative supports critical animal cancer research, including studies developing new diagnostic tests and treatments.

Petco Love and Blue Buffalo’s donation will match donor gifts up to $100,000 during the campaign, which runs May 1 through June 30. Pet owners and animal lovers can learn more and donate to the campaign here.

“We are immensely grateful to Petco Love and Blue Buffalo for their generous support in our ongoing battle against animal cancer,” said Ryan Welch, Morris Animal Foundation Interim President and CEO. “The matching gift will significantly amplify our efforts to fund crucial research to help pets affected by this devastating disease. Together, we are advancing science to save animals, bringing us one step closer to a future where cancer no longer threatens our beloved companions.”

Cancer is a leading cause of death in adult dogs and cats. Thanks to generous donor support, Morris Animal Foundation has invested nearly $40 million in more than 300 cancer studies since 1962. However, more work is needed to fund the critical science needed for cancer prevention, treatments, and, one day, a cure.

Since 2010, Petco Love and Blue Buffalo have partnered to raise funds supporting cancer research at Morris Animal Foundation, donating more than $7 million toward canine and feline cancer research.
