GOLDEN, Colo., May 28, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- HomeAdvisor, a
leading local home services marketplace, and Adopt-a-Pet.com,
North America's largest non-profit
pet adoption website, announced today a program to raise money for
Adopt-a-Pet.com. Through this program HomeAdvisor will donate up to
$15,000 on behalf of dogs
nationwide.
After receiving feedback from dog owners that the doorbell
jingle in HomeAdvisor's TV commercial caused their dogs to bark
excitedly, HomeAdvisor saw an opportunity to turn the attention
into support for a very important cause. Through this partnership,
HomeAdvisor will donate one dollar to
Adopt-a-Pet.com on behalf of each dog submitted by pet owners and
will double the donation if they upload a photo of their dog to
Facebook, Instagram, or Twitter using #inthedoghouse.
"While we never intended for our TV commercial to upset dogs or
their owners, we're proud to have this opportunity to work with
Adopt-a-Pet.com and help raise money for the more than 15,000
animal shelters they support, including some here in Denver," said HomeAdvisor's Chief Marketing
Officer, Allison Lowrie. "Giving
back to the community is a strong part of HomeAdvisor's company
culture, and connecting dogs with loving homes through
Adopt-a-Pet.com is a cause we're honored to support."
Pet owners can contribute to Adopt-a-Pet.com through the
HomeAdvisor donation page, as well as view adoptable pets in their
area. HomeAdvisor is making donations until the $15,000 goal is met.
"The money donated by HomeAdvisor will
help Adopt-a-Pet.com to grow our life-saving service to
save even more shelter pets," said David
Meyer, President and Co-Founder of Adopt-a-Pet.com. "We're
excited to have the support of HomeAdvisor to help promote pet
adoption to their network of homeowners."
