Farmina Pet Foods, known for its VetLife and Team Breeder product lines, has partnered with the Blue Ridge Humane Society (BRHS) for the 4th Annual Historic 7th Avenue District Pup Crawl: The Paw-liday Edition, which helps pets and families in need. This year's event takes on added significance, raising critical funds to aid Western North Carolina pet families and displaced animals affected by the devastation of Hurricane Helene.
"This year's event is about more than just community fun. It's about coming together to help our neighbors and their beloved pets recover from an incredibly challenging time," said Brian Bonsall, head of sales – PRO Channel – North America at Farmina. "As a company with deep roots in North Carolina, we're honored to partner with the Blue Ridge Humane Society to ensure that pet families impacted by Hurricane Helene receive the care and support they need, especially as we approach the holidays. Pets are family, and Farmina is committed to being there for our community every step of the way."
The Pup Crawl, taking place on Saturday, December 7, will bring pet lovers together in Hendersonville's vibrant Historic 7th Avenue District for an afternoon of fun, food and fundraising. Participants can purchase "Pawsports" to visit dog-friendly food and beverage stops, earning stamps for a chance to win a grand prize.
"Pup Crawl is a fun and interactive event for dog owners, and we get to witness firsthand the bond between dogs and their owners at each stop," said BRHS executive director Angela Prodrick. "Not only can dog owners and their friends come out to help raise funds for our mission to save lives, it is an opportunity for the entire community to support these 7th Avenue businesses who are hosting events and donating treats following these difficult months of hurricane recovery on top of months of construction."
