The large My Mutt pictures on the walls of Pet Food
Express stores are images of pets that have been adopted from various Bay
Area agencies and rescue groups. These photos are our way of celebrating
these wonderful animals and also a means of helping out the rescue
organizations and shelters who
 do the tireless work of rescuing animals and
finding homes for them.
When you donate at least $250 to an animal shelter or rescue group of your
choice, your pet's photo will be produced & mounted on a wall of a Pet Food
Express store. For a donation of $500
or more, you can keep the
poster after it has been
displayed, for about twelve months, in one of our store locations.
Your
donation may be tax deductible, and most importantly, you get the great
feeling that comes with
helping homeless pets!
100% of your donation goes directly to local shelters & rescues like us!
