The PetSafe Ethos Charity Fund awarded $3,000 across six animal welfare groups following the fund’s inaugural year, PetSafe reported.
The fund provides support to animal welfare groups for the care and rehabilitation of homeless pets to help make them more adoptable. All of the proceeds of the funds go to animal welfare causes, the company said.
“We created the fund because we share the passion and compassion of our fellow pet owners,” said Randy Boyd, CEO of Knoxville, Tenn.-based Radio Systems Corp., makers of the PetSafe brand.
Each of the six nonprofit animal welfare organizations received $500 from the fund, including:
• Concerned Citizens for Animals of Simpsonville, S.C.;
• Rescued Pet Adoption League of Alba, Texas;
• SPEAK Animal Hospital and Animal Sanctuary of Binghamton, N.Y.;
• Nebraska Humane Society of Omaha, Neb.;
• Operation Education Animal Rescue of Murfreesboro, Tenn.;
• Midwest Pug Rescue, Minnesota Division.
