company produces nutritious dog food and treats while reaching out to
help homeless pets. The High Hopes® brand donates 3.5% from every sale
of High Hopes® (up to 15% of the company's profits) to the High Hopes
for Pets Foundation. The Foundation, in turn, donates to local shelters
and rescue groups across the country, providing support for individuals
and groups who are dedicated to the prevention of homelessness for
companion pets everywhere.
