Spring Naturals Sponsors Adoptable Dog, Names Her "Spring"

MITCHELL, SD, March 29, 2012

Spring Naturals, the newest line of all natural dinners and treats for dogs, recently announced they are sponsoring an adoptable dog in honor of their new "Spring Into Action" program. The 1.5 year-old mixed breed female has a beautiful blonde coat and lots of sweet puppy energy, making her the perfect namesake for the program. The newly dubbed pup, Spring, was rescued from Chicago's Animal Welfare League by Spring Naturals and nonprofit group Project Rescue Chicago on March 21st. Trio Animal Foundation paid for her spaying, and she is currently being cared for at Project Rescue Chicago until she finds her forever home.

Spring's sponsorship was inspired by the "Spring Into Action" initiative, which officially kicks off this May. Throughout the program, Spring Naturals will recognize everyday heroes who help animals in need. Each month an everyday hero will be selected and the animal rescue group they support will be highlighted on the Spring Naturals Facebook page. Each honoree will receive a 26 lb. bag of Spring Naturals dog food along with a 6 oz. treat pouch (estimated retail value over $75.) Next March, the selected grand prize winner's favorite animal rescue organization or shelter will receive $2,000 (retail value) in Spring Naturals dog food plus a $500 cash donation.

For a full year, Spring Naturals will provide Spring the dog with food and treats. By sponsoring the pup, Spring Naturals hopes to encourage others to do good deeds for animals in need and support pet adoption.

Bridgid Nolan, founder of Project Rescue Chicago, says Spring is adjusting well in foster care. As a dog trainer, she is also working with the pup to teach her basic doggy manners to prepare her for her new family. Bridgid noted, "Project Rescue Chicago is a proud partner of Spring Naturals. We believe Spring the dog is a perfect example of all the wonderful, loving animals you can find at your local shelter. It's because of dogs like Spring, Project Rescue Chicago works around the clock to save as many pets as we can in Chicago."
