Green Thumb Industries’ Dogwalkers Cannabis Brand Creates the “Bailey Legacy Fund” to Support Animal Rescue Organizations; Makes Donations to Five Nonprofits - Seite 2

“Whenever there is an animal in distress, there is often a human in distress. We are bringing in more animals from people who are victims of domestic violence or for people entering rehab. Knowing there’s a partnership with Dogwalkers, we can do that one animal at a time.” – Pam Peebles, Executive Director 

Nevada SPCA in Las Vegas, Nevada: The Nevada SPCA, a nonprofit organization, operates a no-kill animal sanctuary, promotes humane education, makes referrals for lower-cost spay/neuter and vaccination services, and challenges people to be the best possible guardians for the companion animals in their care. For more information visit www.nevadaspca.org.

“The donation from Dogwalkers will give us an opportunity to affect the lives of between 40 and 50 animals. And we believe that’s a huge number and you can say the donation is saving lives in Southern Nevada.” – Lori Heeren, Executive Director

PetConnect Rescue in Potomac Maryland: Founded in 2005, in the wake of Hurricane Katrina, PetConnect Rescue has evolved into a vibrant, well-respected animal rescue organization, the largest one based in Montgomery County, Maryland. PetConnect Rescue is dedicated to saving dogs and cats at high risk of euthanasia. Compassionate volunteers and staff find loving homes for all the animals that come into their care and provide ongoing support throughout the adoption process and beyond. PetConnect is committed to ensuring a highly positive rescue experience for adopters and to raising awareness of the plight of abandoned animals through community education. Visit www.petconnectrescue.org for more information.

“We are primarily donation based. Adoptions are up, donations are down. Knowing that we’re sponsored by Dogwalkers has been a huge relief. Animals just bring people together, and certainly when you combine animals and a natural disaster or a pandemic, you find a lot of people are willing to work together.” – Katie Hasse, Adoption Coordinator
