Partnership supports Seattle-area shelter pets in need

ST. LOUIS, Oct. 16, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- In celebration of National Pet Wellness Month, Petfinder, which is powered by the pet experts at Purina, today announced a donation of more than 330,000 EverRoot dog supplements to Greater Good Charities. Valued at more than $1.9M, the donation will help Greater Good Charities provide supplements to support the health and wellness of thousands of shelter dogs in the Seattle area as they await their forever families and settle into their new homes.

Developed by PhD animal nutritionists, EverRoot supplements are expert-backed and include high-quality ingredients in a tasty, soft and chewy form that span a variety of key benefit areas for dogs, including hips and joints, skin and coat, calming, and digestion support. EverRoot formulates soft chews with nutrient-dense ingredients such as pumpkin and spirulina to support digestion and a healthy immune response.

"EverRoot supplements provide the perfect blend of ingredients to help keep these dogs happy and healthy throughout their lives," said Dr. RuthAnn Lobos, lead veterinarian at Purina. "Purina is proud to partner again with Greater Good Charities to support the health and wellness of shelter pets this October and all year long."

Additionally, Petfinder is donating $25,000 to Greater Good Charities to support the global nonprofit's work in providing critical food and supplies for pets nationwide.

"We are grateful to our partners like Petfinder and Purina who are dedicated to providing nutritional support to pets across the country, in addition to promoting animal adoption," said Liz Baker, CEO of Greater Good Charities. "This donation of supplements will help shelters and families across the Seattle region support the well-being of the dogs in their care."

Petfinder is a searchable database of adoptable pets from over 11,000 shelters and rescue groups across the US, Canada, and Mexico.
