Three Deserving Dogs Win Trip of a Lifetime and Support for their Charities from Pet Supplies PlusFurry pups Creed, Rosie and Apollo may not know how to use social media, but Facebook (News - Alert) posts about their touching stories landed each of them an adventure trip with their respective owners - along with fundraising and awareness campaigns for their associated charitable causes. The winning dogs and their owners were selected among more than 2,800 entries in the Path to Adventure Contest, a social media campaign hosted by Pet Supplies Plus as part of the launch earlier this year of their Redford Naturals dog food brand. Partnering with The Sheppard, LLC, Pet Supplies Plus will send them to the locations of their choice this fall, while along the way also helping to raise funds and awareness for non-profit, pet-related causes. During the launch of Redford Naturals, Pet Supplies Plus asked their social media followers to upload personal photos of themselves with their dogs, along with a short essay describing where they would most want to go on an adventure with their dog and why. The grand prize included an adventure trip, booked by a travel concierge through The Sheppard, a six-month supply of Redford Naturals Natural or Grain Free dry dog and a GoPro (News - Alert)® Hero4 Session camera and Fetch™ Mount, along with a stipend of up to $3,996. The three winners include:
Each of the winners are scheduled to travel in early fall, with send-off parties at Pet Supplies Plus locations in Wilmington, Del., Brookfield, Wis., and Summerville, S.C. The trio will document their voyages with the GoPro® Hero4 Session camera and Fetch™ Mount, part of the grand prize package. They will return after their respective journeys with welcome-home parties at Pet Supplies Plus stores, where they will take home their six-month supplies of Redford Naturals Natural or Grain Free dry dog food. Redford Naturals, a product of Pet Supplies Plus, provides protein-rich nutrition and energy to fuel dog's adventures. A good source of Omega 3 and 6, Redford Naturals offers balanced nutrition with added vitamins and minerals to give dogs the rich flavors of the wild without the corn, soy or wheat. Pet Supplies Plus will roll out additional recipes and formulas of Redford Naturals in the coming months.
