Hill’s “Second Chance for Love” Tour August 23, 2008

HELP SAVE HOUSTON-AREA HOMELESS PETS

Hill’s Offers Free Cat & Dog Adoptions to Houston Residents

WHAT: The Hill’s “Second Chance for Love” Tour will be in the Houston area to encourage local residents to help save the lives of one million Cats and Dogs by the end of 2008. Area residents can support this national pledge and give a local cat or dog a second chance for love by visiting the Houston SPCA ON 900 Portway Drive, Houston, TX, 77024 on Saturday, August 23.

As part of the tour, Hill’s will cover the adoption fee for the first 25 adoptions that are approved between 1pm and 4pm and provide these owners with a new pet starter kit during a special event at the Houston SPCA. In addition, celebrity pet photographer Jim Dratfield will be on hand to capture a special photograph of pet owners with their adopted cat or dog. The photographs will be available to consumers online following the adoption event.
.
New and current pet owners will have the opportunity to share their own adoption success stories and learn more about proper pet nutrition. Pet owners can also visit www.HillsPet.com/secondchance to submit their pet adoption stories and photographs as part of the Second Chance Contest. Contest entries will be accepted through November 4th.

WHY: According to national animal protection groups, each year 6 to 8 million cats and dogs enter animal shelters in the United States. Hill’s is committed to raising awareness for shelter adoption through the Second Chance for Love program. In fact last year alone, the company donated more than $30 million worth of food which in turn helped 931,247 pets find new loving homes. The “Second Chance for Love” program is the largest adoption initiative in the company’s history.
