On the Ellen Show March 19, 2010, Ellen interviewed Chelsea Handler, host of E! Network show “Chelsea Lately” and author of “Chelsea Chelsea Bang Bang” which is #1 on the New York Times best sellers list. She tells Ellen how she came to rescue a dog named “Chunk” who is pictured with her on the cover of her book.

Ellen asked Chelsea, “Is this true, you never wanted to rescue a dog before, you never liked dogs?” Chelsea replied, “I never wanted to walk dogs or clean up.” But when a friend’s dog was about to be destroy she stepped up to the plate, “I said ‘No doggie, you’re coming with me.’ And now he sleeps in my bed.”

Ellen loves to give gifts to her guests. “I got something for Chunk,” she revealed. “I own a pet food line; I know that the food that was given to him at one point was not really the healthiest. And my pet food line is the healthiest food. So I have food for your dog; it’s called Halo, it’s all natural, it’s all pure.”

To all our friends in the business of helping pets, please visit us at the Global Pet Expo, March 25-27 at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando. We’re booth #381.

We’ll have special offers for all the wonderful stores that carry Halo.

Most importantly, please come chat about why Halo is the #1 brand that does NOT use any “meals” or other rendered meats in any of our formulas. You won’t find chicken meal in Halo Spot’s Stew — only real chicken, turkey, beef, lamb, salmon and other pure proteins.

Last year at Global, Halo co-owner Ellen DeGeneres was honored with the prestigious “Journalism and Outstanding Contribution Award” – in large part because of her association with our holistic, all-natural pet food.

I’ll be there, and lots of my great Halo colleagues. Please come say “hi” if you’re at the show!

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!

We at HALO have a big announcement this week and we are so excited to share the news with you! But we can’t tell you until tomorrow, March 17 when Ellen breaks the news on her talk show. So make sure you tune in and hear what we’ve been up to. Want a hint? We will be feeding a LOT of shelter pets.

Check out this funny video clip of Ellen DeGeneres’ monologue from the Ellen Show that aired on Thursday, February 18th.

Ellen really loves her dogs Wolf and Mabel; it was a few years ago she was looking for some dog food for Wolf who was allergic to everything.

Ellen explains, “I tried everything, our vet tried everything and finally I found a little company that had the perfect food for him. It’s called Halo, Purely for Pets.

So, because I think Halo is incredible, I decided to become part owner in hopes that all animals have the chance to be the healthiest they can be.”

Ellen is amazed by dogs, explaining, “We think we’re so much smarter than animals. Dogs can understand what we’re saying, but we can’t understand what they’re saying. Doesn’t that make them a little bit smarter?”
