Huntingdon Valley Pet Valu Donating Some Proceeds To Animal Shelters

HUNTINGDON VALLEY, PA -- When you buy certain items at your local Pet Valu, proceeds will be donated to community animal shelters.

Proceeds from pet bandana sales and decorative Paper Paws will be donated to shelters on National Adoption Weekend, which is April 21 through 23.

There are several Pet Valu locations in the area, including at 773 Huntingdon Pike, Huntingdon Valley.

“We continue to be overwhelmed with our customers’ enthusiasm and generosity each time we offer opportunities to support causes for animals in need,” said Joe Dent, vice president and U.S. general manager for Pet Valu, said in a statement. “What really tells the story about Pet Valu’s growth over the past few years is how much our customers have given back to their communities during events like Pet Appreciation Month and toward our partners like America’s VetDogs. Those are the numbers that matter most."

The company said that their fundraising efforts for 2017 has resulted in the following successes:

• 732 homeless cat and dog adoptions facilitated with local shelters
• 36,157 bags (a value of $211,148) of kitty litter donated to local shelters
• $171,215 raised for America’s VetDogs
• $164,584 raised for local animal cruelty prevention groups by 2017 calendar sales
