HOLIDAY KIBBLE DROP 2011

Halo and Freekibble.com Deliver 400,000 Healthy Holiday Dinners of Spot's Stew to Shelter Pets

This holiday season, homeless pets across the nation enjoyed nutritious, delicious holiday meals thanks to the Halo and Freekibble.com “Koast-to-Koast KibbleDrop,” where shelters and rescues up and down the east and west coasts received a total of 40 tons of all natural Halo Spot’s Stew.

Two semi trucks, each carrying 40,000 pounds of food, made a combined dozen stops between December 13 - 22, 2011, donating to more than 40 shelters and rescues. At each KibbleDrop stop, area recipients met the truck to pick up their donation. Four of our retail partners generously agreed to be the pick up/drop off site in their city: Mutts and Butts in Merrick, NY; Pet Pantry Warehouse in Greenwich, CT; Pet Food Express in San Francisco, CA and Healthy Pet in Portland, OR.

Doesn’t everyone deserve an extraordinary holiday supper? The initiative helped rescues and shelters to feed the pets in their care the highest quality food possible. Organizations that have access to all natural food like Halo say they can tell a notable difference in their pets’ well-being and demeanor – and even their adoptability.

Media across the nation joined in to help spread the Kibble Drop cheer. Read the stories here.

Since 2008, Freekibble.com has donated more than 6.6 million meals to pets in need. Each day, Freekibble.com and Freekibblekat.com feature a new trivia question. Visitors to the sites can answer the questions and, right or wrong, earn 10 pieces of kibble for homeless pets.

As Freekibble.com’s official pet food sponsor since 2010, Halo donates the kibble distributed to shelters and rescues throughout the U.S.

Ellen DeGeneres, Halo’s co-owner, reflects the company’s commitment to helping pets in need eat the most healthy and nutritious food possible, saying, "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. I mean, imagine, an animal in a shelter, in a cage, lonely- a good meal is kinda all they have to look forward to, until you adopt them!"
