HALO JOINS U.S. POSTAL SERVICE FOR ANIMAL RESCUE
March 17th, 2010 by David Yaskulka
Halo, Purely for Pets is proud to join the United States Postal Service “Stamps to the Rescue” campaign.
Today, USPS is unveiling its 2010 social awareness stamp, “Animal Rescue: Adopt a Shelter Pet” on The Ellen DeGeneres Show. In celebration, Halo and our co-owner Ellen, plan to donate 1 million meals to shelter pets awaiting adoption.
According to Halo CEO Steve Marton, “We’re here to help make sure this amazing social awareness translates into a meaningful difference for shelter pets. That’s why we’re working with everyone to reach the 1 million meal donation of Halo Spot’s Stew. I’m 100% confident we will achieve our goal of feeding 1 million meals to dogs and cats waiting to be adopted.”
Animal lovers can make sure the 1 million meal donation is achieved by visiting www.halopets.com/stamps.
Opportunities to trigger donations include signing up for a free holistic pet care newsletter, following Halo and its nonprofit partner Freekibble on Twitter, using Halo coupons, and more. Already, over 150,000 Halo meals have been donated to shelters this year towards the 1 million meal goal.
Adopt a Shelter Pet stamps can be pre-ordered at www.stampstotherescue.com, and will be available at all US Post Offices starting April 30.
From now until mid-May, visit your local post office to see this cool Halo “Give Shelter Pets a First Class Meal” poster!


Franny Syufy was kind enough to talk about our favorite 13 year old animal rescue hero, Mimi Ausland, on her super-popular Cats page on About.com, saying “Since I first interviewed Mimi Ausland, I’ve followed her progress, and like pet lovers in 137 countries, have become addicted to playing the Freekibblekat game, Meow Trivia, every day.”
For the second year in a row, everyone’s favorite 100% protein treats took top prize in The Reviewers Choice Awards among dog treats. Halo Spot’s Stew dry dog food also won a Finalist award. As the Buzzillions award site explains, “think of these as the People’s Choice Awards of online shopping” – recognizing the highest-rated products from over 9 million online consumer reviews.
That reflects my own experience at home, where our cat Sterling runs to the kitchen when our dog Bert gets his injections – so then they each enjoy a treat.
Eco Chic, a leading web site “where style and sustainability go hand in hand” focuses on products that are carbon neutral, community based, custom or tailor-made, Fair Trade, organic, recycled, sustainable, vegan and vintage. We’re honored that the Eco Chic “Alpha-Dog” Tammy Preast chose to feature Halo.
Part of the great success of Freekibble.com’s Halo-sponsored Hi-5 event – which resulted in 20,000 meals donated to shelter pets – was the media coverage it received. We appreciate that the Los Angeles Times told its readers about this opportunity to help cats in animal shelters!
