For the fourth consecutive year, Pet Supplies Plus has partnered with Best Friends Animal Society. The animal welfare organization received 10% of sales from the purchase of these plush toys which came in three styles – Giraffe, Sloth, and Cat. With each purchase of these toys, neighbors were supporting Best Friends Animal Society's mission and as a result, more than $30,000 is being donated to help animals across the nation.

"The passion and dedication our company has for pets, from our leadership team to each store team member, is second to none," said Chris Rowland, CEO of Pet Supplies Plus. "We are honored to continue this valued partnership with Best Friends Animal Society to help animals in shelters nationwide. Our ongoing commitment is to support and enrich the lives of animals, and we know that Best Friends Animal Society is helping us do that."
