Earlier this year we partnered with Cynergy Data to bring DonateWiseNow technology to our retailers who wished to participate in the program.  The technology allows consumers to make quick and discreet micro-donations whenever they make a purchase by credit or debit card.  This allows individual retailers to raise money for their local charities –one swipe at a time. 

The Atlanta-based Park Pet Supply store, owned by Victoria Park, was the largest retailer fundraiser to date and was chosen to present a $2000 grant to Atlanta Area Rescue Friends (AARF), dedicated to assisting abandoned, abused and stray animals in the quest to help them find loving, forever homes. Susan Leisure, grant recipient and Executive Director of AARF expressed her gratitude:“We are very grateful for the $2,000 grant,” says Leisure.  “Vicki at Park Pet Supply has been a wonderful long-time supporter of AARF, and thanks to her efforts, we were able to set aside funds for vet care for the foster pets in our program.” 

Look out for more updates on our retailer’s successes with DonateWiseNow and the Southeast Pet Project.  We are extremely pleased with our success with the program to date and look forward to sharing future opportunities of our retailers helping out pets in need!
