Round Up at the Register Enough to Fund Another Veteran Support Dog

Petland customers went the extra mile to raise $8,000 in just one month’s time through the organization’s Round Up at the Register campaign. The extra change was donated during the campaign and another $2,000 donated by Petland Charities raised enough to support another veteran through Heartland Canines for Veterans.

Petland has supported the Heartland Canines’ “One of Us” program for more than five years. Funds raised, along with grant monies supported by Petland Charities cover veterinary care, training, equipment, kenneling and administrative costs for the K9.
