PETCO Offers Three Ways to Give to Pets in Need This Holiday Season
/PRNewswire/ -- More than 1,000 PETCO stores nationwide will encourage families to Think Adoption First during National Pet Adoption Weekend Nov. 7 and 8 when they partner with their local animal shelters to hold adoption events. In addition, the National Pet Adoption Weekend kicks-off PETCO's annual Tree of Hope fundraiser for the PETCO Foundation and PETCO's partnership with the IAMS® annual Home 4 the Holidays® pet adoption drive.
"PETCO supports the goals of all pet parents with the opportunity to provide a home, a donation or a healthy lifestyle to a pet in need this holiday season. Last year PETCO raised more than $3 million through the Tree of Hope campaign in PETCO stores, and the PETCO Foundation was able to help more than 5,000 animal shelters," said Jim Myers, Chief Executive Officer for PETCO. "Through our National Pet Adoption Weekend and Tree of Hope campaign we hope to boost the number of animal adoptions and monies raised to make a positive difference in the lives of thousands of animals."
The Tree of Hope fundraiser allows PETCO customers to purchase snowflake card ornaments for $5, $10 or $20 donations through Dec. 24. Customers may also purchase PETCO Foundation "Peace on Earth, Good Homes for Pets" T-shirts or sweatshirts while supplies last. In addition, IAMS will donate $1 to the PETCO Foundation for every bag of IAMS cat or dog food sold at PETCO stores from Nov. 7 to Dec. 24 in support of the 2009 Home 4 the Holidays goal to find homes for 1.5 million animals by the end of the holiday season.
Every PETCO customer who adopts an animal through one of PETCO's sponsored animal adoption events or its charitable partners are invited to join PETCO's Think Adoption First program. When proof of a pet adoption is brought into a store and a P.A.L.S. loyalty program membership is activated, customers will receive a free brochure that features exclusive savings on food and supplies. In addition, new pet parents will receive a year-long series of educational e-mails regarding the health and well-being of their new pet, as well as special offers of up to 25 percent in savings each month.

Yellowstone Park Foundation Launches Campaign to Protect Bears and Save Lives
/PRNewswire/ -- A fed bear is a dead bear. Most people who live in bear country have heard this clever saying. Some -- like Kerry Gunther, a bear management biologist for Yellowstone National Park -- know first-hand that this warning is all too true.
"Bears that obtain human food eventually become more aggressive toward humans, and may need to be removed from the population," explained Gunther. "Almost every year for the past few years, it has been necessary for a bear in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem to be euthanized for this reason. It's the toughest part of this job."
Wildlife managers know that access to human food is the greatest risk faced by wild bears. Fortunately, there is a solution. The use of large, bear-proof storage containers, or "bear boxes," is a proven method of preventing bears from becoming conditioned to human food.
The problem is that less than 25 percent of campsites in Yellowstone's roadside campgrounds -- the most likely place for a bear to seek and obtain food -- currently have bear boxes.
To address this problem, the Yellowstone Park Foundation -- the official fundraising partner of Yellowstone National Park -- is offering the public a unique opportunity to Sponsor a Bear Box. For each $1,000 in contributions raised by the Foundation, Yellowstone will purchase and install a bear box in a Park campground.
Yellowstone Park Foundation President Paul Zambernardi says that the goal is to purchase 50 bear boxes to place in top-priority campgrounds. "So far this summer, we've received enough contributions for the Park to install the first ten boxes, but many more are needed to have a significant impact," said Zambernardi.
The first group of sponsored bear boxes was installed last week at Bridge Bay Campground, within prime grizzly habitat along the shore of Yellowstone Lake. The campground's volunteer hosts Diane Browne and Andy Anderson understand the critical need for bear boxes, so much so that they sponsored a box themselves.
"As part of our hosting duties, we need to survey the campground several times each day to make sure that no unsecured food is around to tempt bears and other wildlife," said Diane. "These boxes will make it easier for campers to comply with food storage regulations, keeping them safer as well as the bears."
While donations of any amount are encouraged, groups or individuals who fully sponsor a box will be recognized with a small plaque that is permanently affixed to the box. Learn more at www.ypf.org/bearbox
The nonprofit Yellowstone Park Foundation has been the official fundraising partner of Yellowstone National Park since 1996. It funds projects and programs that protect, preserve, and enhance Yellowstone. Learn more at www.ypf.org.

Pooch Mooch 2008 to Benefit Atlanta-Area Pets
PRNewswire/ -- You can hear the howls of appreciation all around metro-Atlanta as "clients" of Atlanta-based Pets Are Loving Support, Inc. (P.A.L.S.) celebrate the news that Pooch Mooch 2008 will help raise necessary funds to keep them and their owners together. Presented by Wunderkind Public Relations, an Atlanta-based communications strategy and services company, Pooch Mooch 2008 will aid P.A.L.S. in its mission to provide pet-care, such as free food and basic veterinary care, to the companion pets of critically ill, disabled and elderly Atlanta residents. The event, which features a silent auction, will be held November 16 from 6:00-9:00 p.m. at the King Plow Arts Center in West Midtown.
"This is a tough economy for non-profit organizations and we could not continue our services without the generous support of friends like Wunderkind Public Relations," said Kevin Bryant, executive director, Pets Are Loving Support. "We anticipate an increase in the demand for our services through next year due to rising healthcare costs, and the funds raised through Pooch Mooch 2008 will help cover our ever-growing operating expenses, including delivery of pet meals to the homebound, pet food supplies and veterinary costs."
Hundreds of pets each year are surrendered to family members, friends or animal shelters because people with chronic illnesses, disabilities or the aging cannot afford to take proper care of them due to rising medical and living expenses. P.A.L.S. provides the basic needs of companion animals of Atlanta's critically ill and senior citizens, who might face health issues such as cancer or Alzheimer's alone, if it were not for their pets. Already this year, the non-profit organization has helped more than 700 pet clients stay where they belong - in their own homes with those that love them most.
"As a company with animal advocacy as our charitable platform, we are thrilled to present Pooch Mooch 2008, which acknowledges the healing bond between humans and animals," said Steve McAbee, president and founder, Wunderkind Public Relations. "We expect the evening to be filled with fun, friendship and giving, and a rousing success for our beneficiary."
Event Sponsors and Donations for Silent Auction Needed
Pooch Mooch 2008 is seeking sponsors for this year's event. Interested parties should contact P.A.L.S., palsatlanta@palsatlanta.org, or email info@poochmooch.com for more information.
Pooch Mooch 2008 will feature a silent auction of more than 100 items. Already, private and corporate donors have contributed items such as vacation stays at resorts around the world, roundtrip airline tickets, gift certificates to cooking school, cosmetic services, weekend mountain getaways, custom artwork, pet-related products and services, and much more. Visit the event website to preview auction items and stay up to date on the latest additions. To donate an item, contact auction@poochmooch.com or visit the website for more information.
