Invisible Fence® Brand is on a
mission to prevent pets from filling shelters with their contest
awarding $20,000 to support animal
shelters across the country. Voting opens today until September 30, 2024.
KNOXVILLE, Tenn., Aug. 1, 2024
/PRNewswire/ -- Invisible Fence® Brand is
hosting its sixth annual nationwide From Shelter to Forever Home
Contest, awarding one animal shelter $10,000 and donating needed supplies to several
other shelters. This initiative aims to bring awareness to lost
dogs and educate pet parents about solutions to keep their furry
friends safe, ensuring they don't join the ranks of the millions of
lost pets that fill shelters every year. The program will kick off
on August 1st, with voting lasting
until September 30th. As the pioneer
in the pet containment industry, Invisible Fence® Brand
asks the community to unite around this cause to continue promoting
the initiative of keeping pets safe in their forever homes.
Raising Awareness for Lost Pets
According to the
American Humane Society, approximately ten million dogs and cats
are lost in the U.S. every year and less than 23% are reunited with
their owners*. Through the From Shelter to Forever Home Contest,
Invisible Fence® Brand hopes to reduce the number of
missing pets and help increase the shelter's return-to-owner rates.
From August 1, 2024, to September 30, 2024, the public is invited to
nominate their local animal shelter to give them a chance to win a
grand prize of $10,000, donated on
behalf of Invisible Fence® Brand. The shelter or rescue
with the most nominations on September
30th will win the monetary donation.
Additionally, Invisible Fence® will award $10,000 worth of supplies spread across 20
shelters nationwide to further support the mission.
"We're thrilled to host our From Shelter to Forever Home Contest
for a sixth year in a row", said Marta
Dalton, vice president of marketing for Invisible
Fence® Brand. "Over the past six years, we have seen
great success in this initiative in sharing our mission and passion
for protecting pets. Invisible Fence® Brand, the leader
in pet containment backed by over 50 years of experience, continues
to keep this program live to ensure pets live a happy, healthy life
while giving them the freedom they deserve."
Shelters and rescue organizations across the U.S. are rallying
for nominations and need their community's support. We encourage
you to share the contest on social media and nominate your local
shelter by visiting

From Shelter to Forever Home Making an Impact
2023
Grand Prize Winner Rags to Riches Animal Rescue received
$10,000 to support their fight
against a life-threatening parvovirus case that affected a handful
of puppies in their care. With help from Invisible
Fence® Brand, they were able to treat the puppies that
otherwise would have resulted in euthanasia. "We are very
appreciative of Invisible Fence® Brand for all the help
that they give, not to us, but to all of the animals every day.
Thank you so much for everything!" said Sierra, volunteer for Rags
to Riches Animal Rescue.

Preventing Lost Pets Before They Become Lost
In
addition to raising awareness for tools and resources to return
lost pets to their families, Invisible Fence®
Brand advocates products and solutions that prevent
pets from escaping their yards. Since 1973, Invisible Fence® Brand
has protected over three million cats and dogs with their outdoor
containment solutions, including Boundary Plus® Wired System,
Boundary Plus Smart® System, and all-new Invisible
Fence® GPS Collar.
"We always want to avoid a lost dog, so an underground fence
gives us ease in knowing the dog is going home to a secure
environment. It allows the dog the freedom to roam their property
safely. Dogs are great for being socialized on leashes for walks,
but they also need that free time to run around and just be dogs.
Invisible Fence® Brand creates that possibility!" said
Kirstin Mende, chief executive
officer and founder of Lucky Dog Refuge.
"Our exclusive technology is only a small part of what makes
Invisible Fence® Brand the safest and most
dependable pet containment solutions on the market," said
Wally Shaw, general manager for
Invisible Fence® Brand. "But it is our team of certified
pet trainers that ensure pets are successfully trained to guarantee
confidence, comfortability and freedom within their
boundaries."
Taking preventative measures like installing an Invisible
Fence® Brand system and recovery measures are the
best ways to keep your pet within safe boundaries and living
happily in their forever homes. To learn more about preventing lost
pets in your area, visit the Invisible Fence® Brand
