Together with animal lover Trista Sutter from ABC’s “The Bachelorette,” Purina and Ralph’s — a division of Cincinnati-based The Kroger Co. — presented the San Diego Humane Society and Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals with a $53,000 donation Oct. 14. The donation is part of the third annual “Tales for the Pet Lover’s Heart” campaign to raise funds for animal welfare organizations nationwide. The San Diego Humane Society created the “top Pet Tale” as part of the campaign, receiving the honor in competition with 17 other participating animal welfare organizations across the country. San Diego Humane Society’s pet tale demonstrated its commitment to the community and its animals through a video told from the animal’s perspective. The video tale showcased the unique paw print – both big and small – the organization has left on those the society has helped for more than 130 years. Through the “Tales for the Pet Lover’s Heart” campaign, Purina and Kroger are recognizing the outstanding efforts of animal welfare organizations nationwide. Together, they are committed to promoting responsible pet care, humane education and community involvement.
