BOULDER, CO--(Marketwired - Jan 25, 2017) - For the second year in a row, natural pet lifestyle brand Only Natural Pet (www.onlynaturalpet.com), partnered with BlogPaws to improve the lives of some of the nearly 8 million pets that enter shelters in the United States every year.
Five grand prizes of $1,000 each will be donated to worthy animal rescue groups across the country. For every purchase of a toy, treat, bed, or accessory that occurred during the 2016 holiday season, Only Natural Pet donates five percent of the purchase value to pets in need. Five lucky shelters split the final donation.
This innovative, pay-it-forward campaign encouraged folks to share the #IMAGINE5 hashtag on social media and register a shelter to eligible for one of the five $1,000 prizes. All five winners are U.S.-based 501(c)3 organizations supporting animal welfare.
"This donation will make a big difference to us, helping us to feed 250 pets for a month," said Eileen Lambert, Executive Director of the Colorado Pet Pantry and one of this year's winners.
The five winning shelters are:
BFW Rescue, Inc.
Clarke County Animal Shelter
Colorado Pet Pantry
Pet Orphans
Pitties & Purrs Rescue, Inc.
Since 2010, BlogPaws, through its Be the Change for Pets movement, has donated over $100,000 in goods and services to qualifying 501(c)3 organizations dedicated to helping pets in need. BlogPaws is one of the first companies to promote pets and their welfare via social media and the first to start a conference for pet bloggers and pet online influencers.
