Nylabone to Match ASPCA® Donations Up to $25,000 in Honor of National Dog Day
August 18 2020 - 8:00AM
Business Wire
Nylabone, the pet industry-leading provider of innovative dog
chew toys, chew treats, play toys, and dental solutions since 1955,
has partnered with the ASPCA® (The American Society for the
Prevention of Cruelty to Animals®) for its new National Dog Day
Facebook Fundraiser. Nylabone will match contributions to the
ASPCA® campaign up to $25,000 from August 19 through National Dog
Day on August 26, 2020—a day dedicated to raising awareness for
dogs in shelters and rescues.
Users can contribute donations via both organizations through
links shared on their Facebook pages. Since March, the ASPCA® has
been committed to its COVID-19 Relief and Recovery Initiative—a
multi-million-dollar effort to help pets and animal welfare
organizations impacted by the virus. Nylabone is devoted to helping
the ASPCA® successfully provide access to free pet food, supplies,
veterinary care, emergency boarding, and lifesaving funding to
address the most urgent needs of pet parents and animal shelters in
the United States.
“With COVID-19 profoundly impacting shelters and rescues, we at
Nylabone are eager to help the ASPCA support animals in need,” says
Glen S. Axelrod, President and CEO of Nylabone® Products. “We share
the common goal of helping shelters and rescue animals find loving
homes, so naturally we are proud to continuously partner with this
dedicated organization.”
This is not the first time Nylabone and the ASPCA® are locking
arms for animal welfare during a nationwide crisis. Following
Hurricane Harvey and Hurricane Irma in 2017, Nylabone donated dog
chew toys and supplies to ASPCA® distribution centers assisting
with local natural disaster relief efforts. Nylabone also supports
the ASPCA® on an ongoing basis through chew toy and monetary
donations.
Founded in 2004, National Dog Day celebrates all types of dogs
and encourages Americans to consider the many benefits of adoption.
The day also acknowledges family dogs and lifesaving animals such
as those who work with law enforcement officers and assist disabled
individuals. This National Dog Day, Nylabone and the ASPCA® will
both share a special video on their Facebook pages featuring dogs
like those who are seeking loving homes across the country.
Nylabone supports and donates to hundreds of dog shelters, animal
welfare groups, and canine service organizations through the
Nylabone Cares program. This initiative provides adoptable dogs the
behavioral tools they need to thrive in their homes and teaches new
pet parents how they can manage common chewing problems.
