PETCO Foundation Spring A Pet Gives Much-Needed Funding to All wildlife Rescue & Education, Inc

Long beach , CA 22 June 2006) ? The PETCO Foundation's annual Spring A Pet, which ended April 16, exceeded $1.7 million in donations.

Throughout the four-week fundraiser, customers visiting one of PETCO's more than 790 stores could purchase ?Spring A Pet? donation cards in denominations of $1, $5, $10 and $20, or round-up their purchase. Donors of $20 or more received a "Making a Difference" picture frame.

Each PETCO store selected an animal welfare group that celebrates the human-animal bond, and then collected donations on that organization?s behalf. This year, All Wildlife Rescue & Education, AWRE, partnered with the PETCO store at 6761 Westminster Blvd. Westminster, CA

?I am very proud that we are able to assist approximately 1,000 animal welfare organizations across the country this year,? said Paul Jolly, Foundation Director and Vice President. ?There are thousands of animals across the country that will benefit from the generosity of our customers. We?re deeply grateful to be able to organize and distribute this collection effort each year on behalf of all of those animals who depend on us for their well-being.?

How the Money Makes a Difference. Local proceeds from Spring A Pet 2006 will be used by AWRE to continue with their wildlife rescue and rehabilitation efforts ?Once again, we are all totally overwhelmed with the kindness and generosity PETCO and their customers have shown us. Without their much needed help, AWRE would not be able to continue our injured wildlife rescue mission. All of us here at AWRE are truly appreciative of their faith in our agencies instrumentation? stated Kim Thraen, CEO All Wildlife Rescue & Education, Inc

Another shock here at AWRE, Chris Fowler has turned in her resignation and is no longer associated with AWRE. We wish her well in her future endeavors and hope she finds greener pastures. Her work with skunks has truly made a difference. We are sure going to miss her.
