RPM to receive a lifesaving investment of
$95,000 from Petco Love
HOUSTON, May 1, 2024
/PRNewswire/ -- Rescued Pets Movement (RPM), the largest
animal rehabilitation and transport 501(c)(3) nonprofit in
the United States, is excited to
announce that it has received a $95,000 lifesaving investment from Petco Love.
This grant will support RPM's crucial work in rescuing,
rehabilitating, and transporting pets from shelters in the
Greater Houston Metropolitan area
to loving homes across the country.
Petco Love is a national nonprofit leading change for pets by
harnessing the power of love to make communities and pet families
closer, stronger, and healthier. Since its founding in 1999, Petco
Love has invested $375 million in
adoption and other lifesaving efforts. And Petco Love helps find
loving homes for pets in partnership with Petco and more than 4,000
organizations — like RPM — across North
America, with 6.75 million pets adopted and counting.
"Our investment in Rescued Pets Movement is part of more than
$15M in investments recently
announced by Petco Love to power local organizations across the
country as part of our commitment to create a future in which no
pet is unnecessarily euthanized," said Susanne Kogut, president of Petco Love. "Our
local investments are only part of our strategy to empower animal
lovers to drive lifesaving change right alongside us. We launched
Petco Love Lost, a national lost and found database that uses
patented image-recognition technology to simplify the search for
lost pets."
"We are extremely grateful for the lifesaving investment we have
received from Petco Love," said Cindy
Perini, Co-founder and President of Rescued Pets Movement.
"This investment and ongoing partnership with Petco Love are truly
incredible, and we are dedicated to continuing our hard work for
pets in need. This grant will allow RPM and our rescue partners to
assist pets throughout the Greater
Houston Metropolitan area. Previous grants from Petco Love
have made a significant difference in addressing the animal
overpopulation issue in our region, particularly at BARC,
Houston's municipal shelter.
Together, Petco Love and RPM are working towards a solution for
this overwhelming challenge."
"Since our establishment in 2013, with the generous support of
Petco Love, we have saved over 87,000 lives. We encourage everyone
to consider shopping at Petco for their pet supplies and to donate
to Petco Love at checkout, as these donations help fund investments
for RPM and organizations like ours. Even small donations can have
a big impact on pets in the U.S. and in your local community,"
concluded Perini.
