GREATER GOOD CHARITIES TEAMS UP WITH BOEHRINGER INGELHEIM FOR THE 10th ANNUAL SHELTER BOWL TO RAISE FUNDS FOR PETS IN NEED

Seattle, Wash., Feb. 05, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Greater Good Charities is teaming up with BoehringerIngelheim for the global nonprofit’s annual Shelter Bowl event. The event will donate millions of nutritious pet meals and thousands of doses of NexGard® PLUS chews to animal shelters and rescues including those impacted by the Greater Los Angeles wildfires. Additionally, Boehringer Ingelheim will match every donation made to the Shelter Bowl, which runs January 27 through February 9, 2025, dollar for dollar, up to $30,000.


“We are grateful to collaborate with Boehringer Ingelheim, for the 10th Annual Shelter Bowl,” said Liz Baker. “Together, we will extend vital support to animal welfare organizations nationwide, including communities in the Los Angeles area struggling in the aftermath of the wildfires, helping displaced families and unhoused populations, injured animals, overwhelmed pet shelters, and damaged ecosystems.”

Starting January 27, 2025, the Shelter Bowl invites participants to “kick a field goal” for shelter pets by submitting their email addresses to generate free product donations for different shelters as well as shelters in the Los Angeles area impacted by recent wildfires. The product donation of NexGard® PLUS chews includes monthly flea, tick, heartworm disease, roundworm, and hookworm protection from Boehringer Ingelheim.


"At Boehringer Ingelheim, we are deeply committed to the welfare of animals,” said Daniel Watkins, Head of the US Pet Business at Boehringer Ingelheim. “Animal shelters provide a vital service to our communities by offering refuge to animals in need. We believe every animal deserves a chance at a healthy life with a forever family, and we are honored to play a part in making that a reality.”


The campaign will feature adoptable pets from Louisiana SPCA, the Big Game’s host city, as well as adoptable pets from animal welfare organizations in Philadelphia and Kansas City. Working with its partners, Greater Good Charities will distribute Shelter Bowl donations.
