VéRUS Pet Foods - Abingdon, MD
Although VeRUS pet foods is a smaller company, we try to assist in as much as we are financially able to support our local rescues. Not only do we offer assistance to rescue programs through food and cash donations, but our staff also fosters for local rescues. In addition, we assist through social networking on facebook and promote the animals currently residing in our VeRUS fed rescues. We value and appreciate all those who volunteer their time and money to help animals in need.

Starstruck Labradors - Three Hills, AB
Since we began breeding labradors, we have made community support a cornerstone of our business. Starstruck Labradors began in 2008. The inspiration for Starstruck came after Valina was air lifted to hospital by STARS air ambulance. Since that time Starstruck has been able to make over $20,000 in charitable donations, including over $12,000 to STARS Air Ambulance. This past year, we have also been fortunate enough to donate four dogs between two different service dog organizations: Hope Heels, and West Coast Assistance Teams.

Martin Mills Inc. - Elmira, ON
At Martin Mills Inc., our role in the animal food business goes beyond the commercial. We are active supporters of a number of Humane Societies and S.P.C.A’s, including those in Toronto, Kingston, Ottawa and Alliston. We also support many small pet rescue agencies such as Rabbit Rescue, New Moon Rabbit Rescue, Ontario Rabbit Education Organization and Piggles Guinea Pig Rescue. We supplement this activity with support for other initiatives such as Ontario Standardbred Adoption Society and the Equestrian Association for the Disabled. Martin Mills does this because we want to be known as more than a pet food company – we want to lead by example.
