Pet Valu Hosting Pet Appreciation Month in September Benefitting Animal Rescues and Shelters

In an effort to help community organizations including animal shelters and rescues in the wake of Covid-19, as well as celebrate the pets in our lives, Pet Valu is hosting Pet Appreciation Month in September.

From Sept. 1 to Sept. 30, customers will have several opportunities to participate in the celebration and fundraiser benefiting their local shelters and rescues by:

• Purchasing a $5, limited-edition pet bandana (100 percent of the proceeds support local organizations)
• Making a monetary donation of any amount of their choosing, which will be featured on a paper paw to be hung in the store’s windows in recognition of the donation
• Adopting a new family member at a local Pet Valu store during National Adoption Weekend, Sept. 26 and Sept. 27

Last year, Pet Valu helped fundraise more than $400,000 for local rescues and shelters through this effort.

“Pet Appreciation Month is an important annual initiative during which we collect much needed funds and food product for rescues in our local communities. While we had to postpone this year’s fundraiser, originally scheduled for April, we know that rescues have been greatly affected by Covid-19 and need our help more than ever,” said Ally Homa, Pet Valu’s senior marketing manager.
