Purina and Ralphs announced that the San Diego Humane Society created the “Top Pet Tale” in the third annual Tales for the Pet Lover’s Heart campaign. As such, it received a $53,000 donation during a special presentation hosted by campaign spokesperson and animal lover Trista Sutter from ABC’s The Bachelorette. Seventeen additional animal welfare organizations across the country also received a donation as part of the campaign, which celebrates the unique bond between people and their pets. San Diego Humane Society demonstrated its commitment to the community and its animals by sharing a tale from the animals’ perspective. The video showcased the positive impact the organization has left on those it has helped for more than 130 years. “On behalf of the San Diego Humane Society and SPCA, I would like to offer our sincerest thanks to Purina and Kroger for providing the opportunity which allowed us to showcase the heart and soul of our organization through the ‘Tales of the Pet Lover’s Heart’ contest,” said Mark Goldstein, DVM, CAWA, president of the San Diego Humane Society and SPCA. “This very generous gift will allow us to continue our good work on behalf of the people and animals we serve.” To view the winning video, please click here.
