Hartz Shelter Donation Program Pledge of $3,000,000 has been Fulfilled

Secaucus, NJ, Dec 28, 2009 (PRWeb.com via COMTEX) –

Entering the holiday season, The Hartz Mountain Corporation, the leading U.S. pet supplies company, still had $1,000,000 worth of pet supplies to donate to local animal shelters. On December 15th, Hartz reached out to pet lovers around the country to nominate local shelters who would like to receive a free shipment of 2,000 Hartz pet supply items. The consumer response was overwhelming. No sooner had the announcement gone out when the email nominations came pouring in. By December 25th, Hartz had already received sufficient nominations to reach the pledge made in July; to ship $3,000,000 of Hartz pet supplies to animal shelters and food banks in the U.S. and Canada, to help shelters and pet owners survive the tough economy. “It seems pet lovers are in the holiday spirit as we’ve seen a tremendous amount of goodwill from consumers nominating animal shelters from all over the country, and we’d like to thank them for responding so soon and with such enthusiasm,” said Bob Shipley, Hartz Senior Vice President. “Sadly, it also reminds us that our animal shelters are really suffering through this economy, and need everyone’s help because their need is enormous. We hope that we have been able to help those shelters we could reach this year with Hartz Shelter Program pet supply shipments.”
