(PRESS RELEASE) WASHINGTON — Humane World for Animals announced the generous donation of 100,000 pet meals from premium pet food brand Nulo, which were distributed to families during its More Than a Pet campaign event in Los Angeles. Pet food and supplies were provided to community members through Humane World’s Pets for Life program, which works to expand access to essential resources for pets and the people who love them.
The More Than a Pet campaign celebrates the powerful bond between people and their pets while advancing equitable access to care, pet food and other critical resources, helping families and their pets stay healthy and together. The recent Los Angeles Unpacking Pawty underscored how Humane World for Animals, together with its corporate and community partners, are working together to expand access to care, support pets and the people who love them, and strengthen the bonds that make pets truly more than a pet.
“At Humane World for Animals, we believe that no pet should go hungry simply because their family is facing hard times,” said Amanda Arrington, the organization’s vice president of Access to Care. “Thanks to this generous donation from Nulo, we were able to directly support families through our event in Los Angeles ensuring pets stay healthy, happy and right where they belong: at home with the people who love them.”
As part of Nulo’s Paws for a Cause initiative, the company pledged to donate one meal to Humane World for Animals for every bag of Nulo dry food purchased at nearly 450 independent pet retailers nationwide from April through June. The campaign was supported by several of Nulo’s athlete ambassadors: Caeleb Dressel, ten-time Olympic medalist swimmer and devoted dog and cat dad, to Jane and Rems respectively; Ryan Crouser, three-time Olympic gold medalist in shot put, and proud dog dad to Koda; Gabby Thomas, five-time Olympic medalist sprinter and passionate dog mom to Rico; and Regan Smith, eight-time Olympic medalist in swimming and cat mom to Roo –all united in their support of Humane World’s goal to ensure pets and their families stay healthy, cared for and together.
“At Nulo, we believe that every pet deserves access to nutritious food and loving care, regardless of circumstance. Our partnership with Humane World for Animals allows us to extend that belief beyond the store shelf and into communities that need it most. Knowing these meals are helping pets stay healthy and at home with the families who love them is what truly fulfills our mission,” says Nulo founder & CEO Michael Landa.
“My dog Rico is my best buddy and I only want the best for him. That’s why I was so proud to be a part of Nulo’s Paws for a Cause campaign to support Humane World for Animals, an organization dedicated to pet wellness and helping pet parents ensure their pets have the best lives and nutrition possible,” said Gabby Thomas, Nulo athlete ambassador. “I’m a strong advocate for equitable access to care, nutritious food and other critical resources for people – and for their pets! It’s an honor to be aligned with an amazing brand like Nulo that shares my values and with an incredible organization that acts on them every day.”
