NEW YORK, NY (July 27, 2010)
-
Stella & Chewy’s, a pet food company dedicated to
creating pure, minimally processed, natural food for
animals, has generously donated dog treats valued at
more than $10,000 to three animal rescue organizations
that participate in the Mayor’s Alliance for NYC’s
Animals. Dog Habitat Rescue and Sean Casey Animal Rescue
in Brooklyn, and the Animal Haven shelter/adoption
center in Manhattan, each received a
generous supply of Carnivore Crunch™ all-meat treats
early last week.
As the economy continues to lag, donations to animal
shelters and rescue groups are helping these non-profit
organizations continue their vital work in saving the
lives of thousands of homeless pets in
New York City. The Mayor’s
Alliance
for NYC’s Animals, a coalition of more than 150
animal-rescue groups and shelters, is at the forefront
of this effort, leading a collaborative effort to end
the killing of healthy and treatable cats and dogs at New York City’s Animal Care
& Control shelters by 2015.
Stella & Chewy’s is committed not only to making a
difference in the quality of life for furry family
members, but also to save the lives of less fortunate
dogs and cats who are awaiting new homes. This
commitment involves donating a percentage of its annual
profits and products to animal rescue groups and animal
shelters nationwide.
“Stella & Chewy's has been supportive of our efforts at
Dog Habitat Rescue since the first day we pulled a dog
from the Animal Care & Control shelter in NYC to find
her a home,” says Jay Lombard of Dog Habitat Rescue.
“They've donated hundreds of pounds of all-natural, raw
food so that all of our rescue dogs get daily nutritious
meals to help them in the rehabilitation process. We
were thrilled to receive this additional donation of dog
treats that our staff and volunteers could use as
rewards and incentives for training whether it's walking
on the leash or learning to 'sit.' The treats are a huge
bonus to the everyday work we do with these special
pups.”
The Mayor’s Alliance is grateful to Stella & Chewy’s for
its support of Alliance participating organizations and
invites other companies to support this community
collaboration by donating to their local rescue groups
and shelters, including Animal Care & Control of NYC.

effort can contact the Mayor’s Alliance at
