Petco Foundation to Match All Donations up to $15,000 to Animal Friends of the Valleys through June 30

Investment will help save more animal lives in southwest Riverside County through the COVID19 crisis. Through June 30, all donations to Animal Friends of the Valleys will be matched up to $15,000 by the Petco Foundation to help save twice as many pet lives.

“We are in an unprecedented time facing this crisis, especially caring for the animals. AFV is thrilled to be awarded the COVID 19 matching grant” from the Petco Foundation. “We know the community will rally behind us, and support the animals,” said Monica Wylie, Executive Director at Animal Friends of the Valleys.

The Petco Foundation matching grant will help Animal Friends of the Valleys maintain its lifesaving work during these challenging times.

This grant is part of the Petco Foundation’s Pledge to Save Pet Lives during this COVID-19 crisis by distributing $1M in product and cash donations and putting out a national call to implore animal lovers to take action to help save animal lives. This commitment follows the Petco Foundation’s recent distribution of more than $13M to animal welfare organizations nationwide.

“Animal welfare organizations are facing the business impacts of COVID-19, just like many other businesses during this crisis. But when your business is saving animal lives, the consequences of a business failure are devastating,” said Petco Foundation President, Susanne Kogut. “At the Petco Foundation, we will support our partner’s most critical needs during this time and help mobilize the public to take action to help save animal lives. We hope this matching grant support will help Animal Friends of the Valleys do just that.”

Animal Friends of the Valleys is a nonprofit organization whose mission is to help lost and abandoned animals in the cities of Temecula, Murrieta, Wildomar, Lake Elsinore, Canyon Lake, Menifee and
surrounding rural county areas. For more information about Animal Friends of the Valleys, visit www.animalfriendsofthevalleys.com
