LIVONIA, Mich., Jan. 31, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Pet Supplies Plus, the largest and most trusted pet retail franchise in the United States, recently announced a fundraising initiative to benefit the World Wide Fund for Nature in Australia.

Donations can be made through Pet Supplies Plus Facebook, in addition to local store Facebook pages.
