“You don’t need to wear a cape or be able to fly to be a superhero for shelter pets,” said Kim Beardslee of Purina Community Affairs. “St. Louis is fortunate to have so many amazing shelter and rescue organizations advocating for adoptable pets.”

Since the two companies began working together in 2017, the ‘Raise a Pint for Pets’ campaign has helped raise more than $150,000 for local animal shelters, according to a press release.
