As reported, nearly two-thirds of U.S. shelters have embraced the no-kill philosophy as of April 2025, a shift that speaks volumes about the changing tide in animal welfare. The funds have been generated from a generous 10% of profits from festive plush toys—bunnies, dogs, horses, and pigs—found exclusively at Pet Supplies Plus. It’s a win-win for every animal lover: buy a toy, help a furry friend find a forever home.
Chris Rowland, the visionary CEO of Pet Supplies Plus, reflected on this initiative, stating, “With so many cats and dogs in need of loving families, our neighbors stepped up in a huge way to support Best Friends Animal Society.” Such earnest sentiment highlights how we can all play a part in saving the lives of homeless pets, one toy purchase at a time.
