Help Us Save More Lives During this Special Rescue Month

Clear back in October 1981, American Humane initiated the first “Adopt-A-Dog” month to encourage pet adoption and to help enhance the lives of pet owners. Each year since then October has been considered a special month to focus on pet rescue. Since our inception in 1985, Hale Pet Door has always focused on pet adoptions through our rescue rewards program to encourage not only pet adoption but also happy, healthy living for your pets.

This year has been full of one natural disaster after another. Hurricanes Harvey, Irma, Jose, and Maria have had an unprecedented impact on parts of the country. Wildfires have been raging in the western United States in Washington, Oregon, California, Idaho, Montana, Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado and more. Earthquakes have struck in numerous places. And the list goes on.

All of this has led to an unprecedented effect not just on human lives but on their animal companions as well. Many rescue organizations prepared for the hurricanes that they knew were coming by holding special rescue drives to empty their shelters beforehand so they could better deal with the onslaught of animals afterward. Animal transport networks have geared up and are transporting animals out of the disaster areas throughout the entire country to facilitate faster adoptions. Countless corporations have donated food and water, pet beds, and other necessities to assist.

At Hale we would also like to do our part. For the month of October, if you have ever rescued a shelter pet, taken in a stray and given him a home or simply inherited a pet from a friend or family member who would otherwise have gone to a shelter, we want you to help us help others.

Purchase a pet door, ramp or security barrier during the month of October, put the name of the rescue in the appropriate field on the checkout page, and use the code “DISASTERRESCUE2017”. You will still receive your 10% discount but we will double our donation to the rescue you designate. Together we can save more lives and make this a month truly worth celebrating.
