PEDIGREE Thanks All Who Contributed to Its‘Building a New Home for Our Little Friends’ Campaign — Donates Bt. 2 Million to Buy 21-rai Plot of Land for Handicapped Dogs
PEDIGREE?, the world’s leading brand of quality dog food, recently donated Bt2 million to the Home for Handicapped Animals Foundation. The generous amount was received through PEDIGREE?’s nationwide “Building a New Home for our Little Friends” Campaign, during which PEDIGREE? and its customers set aside a contribution from each purchase of PEDIGREE? product.
Amphol Nirutnapaphan, Market Director for Effem Thailand, said: “PEDIGREE? is grateful for the kindness and generosity of everyone who participated in this heart-enriching campaign. Together, we’re helping the Foundation provide a positive change in the lives of these dogs in need, and embracing the special bond between people and pets.”
The Bt2 million donation will be used, in part, to help the Foundation purchase a 21-rai plot of land in the Banglane district of Nakhon Pathom, to build a new home for the dogs. The new home will provide the dogs with much-needed space to live and get the exercise they need.
Sataporn Deepar, President of the Home for Handicapped Animals Foundation, said: “PEDIGREE? understands the suffering these dogs endure on a daily basis. I would like to thank them and everyone who participated in this campaign for their generosity, which will help us provide a better life for these dogs. The donation will allow us to complete the land acquisition and accelerate the direction of this.”
“The Home for Handicapped Animals Foundation is a not-for-profit organization with limited funding, and previously could not afford adequate housing for their dogs. PEDIGREE? is delighted to support the purchase of this land, which will help relieve the extremely cramped conditions these dogs live in, and help the Foundation continue to give them a second chance at life,” added Amphol.
The Foundation provides shelter to hundreds of dogs that have been abandoned around greater Bangkok by their owners due to disabilities or poor health, or quite possibly were never in the care of an owner.
