“At Tractor Supply, we are humbled by all the nominations that pour in during our Rescue Your Rescue contest,” said Nicole Logan, Vice President, Divisional Merchandise Manager at Tractor Supply. “It is wonderful to see how appreciated these organizations are within their communities. Narrowing down the selections is always difficult and with so many impactful organizations to choose from, this year’s decisions were even harder. We are thrilled to be providing $200,000 in support of these amazing groups and hope we have raised awareness of the many other organizations so deserving of assistance.”

“Rescue organizations are so important to us at Canidae.
