Pets Global, along with local college students, retailers, rescue organizations, and volunteers, came together and distributed over 120,000 lbs of donated cat and dog food to over 35 communities affected by Hurricane Helene and Hurricane Milton.
Ensuring that quality pet food is accessible to as many pet parents as possible is one of Pets Global Inc.’s core commitments, and as part of this mission, they step forward in times of crisis , offering both hope and nourishment to animals in need.
Following the devastation caused by recent hurricanes across the Southeastern US, the company has partnered with rescue organizations, small businesses, and animal advocates to provide essential assistance to pet owners. They continue to support those still recovering from the aftermath of the storms, with more than 120,000 pounds (over 60 tons) of premium pet food delivered to affected communities in North Carolina, Virginia, Tennessee, Kentucky, West Virginia, Georgia, and Florida.
Saving Lives and Giving Hope
Pets Global’s efforts go beyond food. They represent a lifeline for pet owners trying to care for their beloved fur babies while trying to rebuild their lives. With the support of trusted partners such as Southeast Pet, Pet Source, and dedicated volunteers from Emory & Henry University, the company is able to reach even the hardest-to-reach areas. By joining forces with local animal welfare organizations like the Smyth County Animal Shelter, Animal Shelter of Sullivan County, and Blue Ridge Humane, Pets Global ensures pet parents everywhere have access to essential supplies which they need to take care of their furry companions.
The spread of these storms affected entire communities, and for many, pets remained a constant source of love and comfort. “Our community opened their hearts, wallets and hands to help us,” said Ericka Gamble of the Animal Shelter of Sullivan County, Tennessee (ASOSC). “This place was not prepared for the calamity that hit us. Many people lost everything, but we were all affected by this storm. For some people, their pet is all they have left.”
Pets Global understands the deep bond between pet owners and their animals, especially during trying times. That’s why the company knew they had to help. The sixty tons of pet food they provided included a variety of products for both dogs and cats, from kibble to wet canned food, and even treats. These come from some of their most trusted and limited brands, including Zignature, Fussie Cat, Inception, and Essence.
A Massive Effort, From Coast to Coast and Across State Lines
The effort to distribute this food to communities in need is no small task and requires a coordinated effort between over 30 individuals in seven states. From its headquarters in Southern California, Pets Global has worked tirelessly to ensure that essential supplies are delivered and delivered efficiently.
“I’m grateful that we at Pets Global are not only helping efforts in Western North Carolina but also in the harder-to-reach rural towns in the Tri-Cities,” said Ellie Mosser, Community Relations Specialist at Pets Global and Emory & Henry alum. “We pride ourselves on supporting independent retailers, and helping local efforts is a natural extension of that commitment.”
For this independent, family-owned pet food company, the focus has always been on helping people and pets thrive together. By providing assistance to pet owners in these disaster-stricken areas, Pets Global ensures that families can keep their pets safe and well-fed, even when times are tough. The storms may have claimed many lives, but the response from organizations like Pets Global has helped restore some normality and faith for pets and their parents in the affected regions.
