Ruffin's Pet Centre Helps Homeless Pets

Ruffin's Pet Centres Inc. and the company's franchisee's launch a unique fund raising program to help homeless pets. Ruffin's, with assistance from the Barkery Doggie Bakery, have developed a special all natural dog cookie. The proceeds from the sale of these cookies will go to support local non profit animal shelters.

Dunnville, Ontario (PRWEB) October 25, 2009 -- Mark Reynolds, President of Ruffin's Pet Centre, is very excited to announce the company's latest charitable program. "The help us help homeless pets program was developed with support from our franchisee's," stated Mark Reynolds "and we have received a significant positive response from our customers already".

The Barkery developed an all natural, handmade, fresh cookie in the shape of a doghouse specifically for this program. All of the proceeds from the sale of our Dog House Cookies will go to local non profit animal shelters. Keith Gear, VP Finance, is pleased that the franchisee's have developed great relationships with their local animal shelters. "This program allows our franchisee's and their customers to contribute to their community and provide a fabulous treat for their pet at the same time."

Over the past 25 years Ruffin's Pet Centre has supported local animal shelters with various donations. In the past the franchisee's and head office have provided food, supplies and cash donations to their local animal shelters. "When the program is over we will review the financial support generated and determine if this will become an ongoing part of our business," stated Mark Reynolds.

Ruffin's Pet Centre Inc. is the franchisor of Ruffin's Pet Centres, full line pet stores with premium pet food and Ruffin's Pet Nutrition Centres, premium pet nutrition stores with discount pricing.
