On Wednesday, December 14, Ellen DeGeneres and 15‐year‐old Mimi Ausland will deliver holiday cheer to Pittsburgh with three local animal shelters receiving a donation of healthy, nutritious Halo pet food. The delivery is part of the “Koast-to-Koast Kibble Drop” sponsored by Halo, Purely for Pets and FreeKibble.com.
The delivery is scheduled for Wednesday morning at 10a.m. It will arrive at Animals Friends, located at 562 Camp Horne Road, where it will be distributed to Animal Friends, Angel’s Ridge Animal Rescue and Central PA Humane Society.
The “Koast-to-Koast Kibble Drop” is a joint effort of Halo, Purely for Pets and Free Kibble.com, where shelters and rescues up and down the east and west coasts will receive 400,000 meals of all natural Halo Spot’s Stew for the holidays. Two trucks, each carrying 20 tons of food, will make a combined dozen stops between December 13-22, making food donations to more than 40 shelters and rescues.
Ellen DeGeneres, Halo’s co-owner, states “Helping animals has always been a passion of mine. At Halo we want to promote healthy living for pets and eating good food is a big part of that.”
Providing high quality nutritious food to shelters and rescues is also a critical part of the FreeKibble.com mission.
“I am so excited that we’re delivering two full truckloads of kibble to thousands of homeless dogs and cats this holiday season,” said FreeKibble.com founder Mimi Ausland.
Shelters on the Kibble Drop were selected among submissions sent to FreeKibble.com and each of more than 40 organizations will receive a substantial donation based on the number of animals in their care.
