Pets' Bounty: Chewy Claus Returns for the Festive Season, Offering Complimentary Pet Adoptions over Thanksgiving Weekend
This holiday season, many pets will find themselves in shelters and rescues, hoping for a loving home. To help address the issue of overcrowding in shelters, due to a faster rate of pets entering than being adopted, the pet retailer Chewy, in partnership with Best Friends Animal Society, is launching the Chewy Claus free pet adoption initiative.
Chewy Claus is not only spreading holiday cheer but also listening to the wishes of our furry friends. Pets can submit their holiday lists, requesting gifts they hope to receive this year, and even defer their gift and ask Chewy Claus to send an extra pound of food instead to a non-profit partner. Since 2022, over half a million pets have sent letters to Chewy Claus.
Adopting a pet during the holiday season can make a pet's wish for a loving home come true. For those considering welcoming a new pet into their life, Best Friends Animal Society provides resources such as articles on adopting a rescue dog and adopting a cat.
Julie Castle, CEO of Best Friends Animal Society, emphasized the importance of adoption during the holiday season, stating, "Adopting a pet during the holidays can provide a loving home for a deserving animal and bring joy to both the pet and their new family." Orlena Yeung, Chief Brand Officer at Chewy, added, "Chewy Claus aims to unite pets with loving families, and we are dedicated to spreading joy during the holiday season and helping pets find loving homes."
In previous years, Chewy Claus has partnered with organizations like the Best Friends network to support pet care and adoption efforts. Chewy often collaborates with local shelters, such as PAWS Seattle and Seattle Humane, for toy donations. However, specific details about participating shelters for the 2023 free pet adoption initiative are not yet available.
For every letter submitted to Chewy Claus, Chewy donates one pound of food to a non-profit partner, up to 600,000 pounds. This initiative not only helps find homes for pets but also supports non-profit partners that work tirelessly to care for animals in need.
The holiday season is an exciting time for many, including our pets. If you'd like to help out, reasons to volunteer with an animal rescue are available. By adopting a pet, volunteering, or simply donating, you can make a difference in a pet's life this holiday season.
