Nylabone to Match Donations Up to $20,000 for America Humane’s Feed the Hungry Fund

Business Wire
Nylabone, the pet industry-leading provider of innovative dog
chew toys, chew treats, play toys, and dental solutions since 1955,
has collaborated with American Humane for its Feed the Hungry
fund—a program that assists animal shelters and rescue groups in
providing care for animals during the COVID-19 pandemic. Throughout
September, Nylabone will donate $20,000 and help build campaign
awareness through promoting the Feed the Hungry fund donation page
on social media.
Because of the worldwide pandemic, animal shelters and rescues
are facing a decrease in contributions and events—two of their main
revenue drivers. To help these organizations maintain basic
services and necessities, American Humane’s Feed the Hungry fund
aids in supplying the essential resources that rescues and shelters
lack, such as pet food, bedding, and veterinary care for abandoned
animals in the United States. Nylabone’s campaign contributions are
expected to support thousands of dogs, and the Feed the Hungry fund
has already assisted nearly 60 shelter and rescue partners.
“As shelters and rescues face the ripple effects of COVID-19,
dogs need our assistance more than ever,” said Glen S. Axelrod,
President and CEO of Nylabone® Products. “It’s important to us at
Nylabone to continue supporting American Humane during these
unprecedented times and help provide animals the essential care
they need.”
In addition to teaming up with American Humane for its Feed the
Hungry fund, Nylabone has been continually involved with the
organization and its Pups4Patriots™ program. This honorable program
unites qualified dogs in need of homes and dogs with military
veterans suffering from serious—but often unseen—mental or physical
trauma, helping them rebuild their lives together. Nylabone donates
chew toys to ease these dogs’ journeys as they are trained to lend
lifesaving assistance to veterans.
Nylabone supports and donates to hundreds of dog shelters,
animal welfare groups, and canine service organizations through the
Nylabone Cares program. This initiative gives adoptable dogs the
behavioral tools they need to thrive in their forever homes,
encourages positive chewing habits, and educates pet parents on why
dogs chew.
