PETCO Rounds Up Donations to Save Pets Lives

Customers who give nickels, dimes and quarters are saving pets' lives around the nation.

By rounding up their purchases at PETCO to the nearest dollar they help local animal welfare groups, such as the Humane Association of Wilson County in Lebanon, Tenn., who was able to spay/neuter 174 feral, free roaming cats thanks to donations made during the PETCO Foundation's Annual Round Up/ Spay Today (http://www.spayusa.org/) to support their programs and hotline. Spay USA is a nationwide network and referral service for affordable spay/neuter services. They have over 1,000 sterilization programs and clinics with over 7,000 veterinarians nationwide.

"Pet overpopulation is a problem embodied by thousands of unwanted puppies and abandoned kittens awaiting uncertain futures in our nation's shelters. Part of the solution to this problem lies in having pets spayed or neutered to reduce the number of unwanted litters," says PETCO Foundation Vice President and Director Paul Jolly.

To date, the PETCO Foundation has raised and donated over $10 million to spay/neuter organizations and efforts through Round Up/Spay Today fundraising. The 2007 Round Up/ Spay Today fundraiser ends on August 5, 2007.
