wag it forward 2020
Thank you to everyone who helped make 2020's Wag It Forward event so successful! Even though we were not able to host the annual festival at the Champlain Valley Exposition as usual, we were able to raise $20,959.39 in-store to equally benefit the 32 participating animal nonprofit groups! That's over $650 to each group, thanks to support from our sponsors Wellpet brands, Pets Global brands, and Rock Star Real Estate. Pet Food Warehouse also donated 10 cents of every dollar from sales from October 1st through 3rd and our amazing customer base donated over $8,000 at registers all September long! Thank you for all the support to assist Vermont's animal welfare nonprofit groups at this time when they need it the most, while staying safe and distant! And a special thanks to Palmer Lane Maple for providing creemees for humans and dogs Saturday, October 3rd!
