Sales from ‘Play On Charity Holiday’ Plush Toys to Support Best Friends Animal Society and Local Shelters Nationwide.

LIVONIA, Mich. — Today Pet Supplies Plus, the largest and most trusted pet retail franchise in the United States, announced their donation of $30,068 to Best Friends Animal Society, partially through a portion of sales from the ‘Play On Charity Holiday’ plush toys during the 2022 holiday season. Dedicated to making the U.S. no-kill, Best Friends Animal Society helps nearly 4,000 shelters and rescue groups around the country with essential resources and innovative solutions tailored to meet individual communities’ needs, allowing their teams to save as many shelter animals as possible.

For the fourth consecutive year, Pet Supplies Plus has partnered with Best Friends Animal Society. The animal welfare organization received 10% of sales from the purchase of these plush toys which came in three styles – Giraffe, Sloth, and Cat. With each purchase of these toys, neighbors were supporting Best Friends Animal Society’s mission and as a result, more than $30,000 is being donated to help animals across the nation.

“The passion and dedication our company has for pets, from our leadership team to each store team member, is second to none,” said Chris Rowland, CEO of Pet Supplies Plus. “We are honored to continue this valued partnership with Best Friends Animal Society to help animals in shelters nationwide. Our ongoing commitment is to support and enrich the lives of animals, and we know that Best Friends Animal Society is helping us do that.”

Best Friends Animal Society is a leading national animal welfare organization dedicated to saving the lives of shelter dogs and cats. In additional to running programs in partnership with thousands of animal welfare groups across the country, the organization operates the nation’s largest no-kill sanctuary for companion animals. A pioneer in the no-kill movement, Best Friends Animal Society has helped reduce the number of animals killed in shelters nationwide from an estimated 2 million to around 355,000. Determined to bring the country to no-kill by the year 2025, Best Friends is working collaboratively with shelters, rescue groups and other organizations to end the killing and Save Them All®.

“We are grateful for partners like Pet Supplies Plus that raise funds for us through fun and innovative campaigns,” said Candi Maciel, Director of Corporate Partnerships at Best Friends Animal Society. “The Charity Plush campaign in 2022 was a great way to engage consumers and get them involved in the work we’re doing to Save Them All. We look forward to continuing our relationship with PSP for years to come!”

Americans are “plugged in” to EVs in 2023, says Mr. Electric survey

2023-03-29T13:06:40-04:00March 29th, 2023|Tags: , , , , |

Mr. Electric®, a Neighborly® company, leads the charge with comprehensive installation services for homes and businesses.

WACO, Texas — Twenty percent of U.S. homeowners are likely to upgrade or purchase electric vehicles in 2023, according to data from Mr. Electric®, a Neighborly® company, which delivers comprehensive electrical services for homes and businesses throughout North America. These results come from a Mr. Electric consumer survey, conducted in February 2023, to gauge consumer sentiment around common electric services, including Electrical Vehicle (EV) charging stations.

When it comes to ease of use, 63% of respondents would most prefer to charge their vehicle at home. Shockingly, only 15% of those surveyed said their workplace provides EV charging stations. While businesses work to meet the needs of EV-owning employees, residential installation is more important than ever.

Recharging your home

Although more than half (53%) of surveyed U.S. homeowners would be likely to install a home charging station after purchasing an electric vehicle (with 26% saying they’d be very likely), 79% do not feel confident about installing one themselves. Mr. Electric aims to guide these homeowners by providing insight into necessary electric vehicle supply equipment (EVSE) and expert installation.

“EVs continue to gain popularity and charging station installations are becoming more in-demand than ever,” said Joel Worthington, president of Mr. Electric. “At Mr. Electric, we’re working hard to address the need for the safe installation of EV chargers by providing expert installation and consultation in addition to comprehensive electrical services in homes and businesses.”

The survey also asked about other ways homeowners can amp up their homes in 2023:

  • Surge protection – only 14% of U.S. homeowners surveyed have whole-home protection. Power surges can compromise any plugged-in device and whole-home protection helps eliminate risk.
  • Electrical panels – 44% of homeowners surveyed say that the most appealing benefit of upgrading electrical panels is energy efficiency/cost savings.
  • Backup generators – In the event of a power outage, home generators help you to stay safe and comfortable until power is restored. Only 23% of surveyed U.S. homeowners currently have a backup generator.
  • Carbon monoxide detectors – 80% of U.S. homeowners surveyed agree that it’s important to have carbon monoxide detectors in their homes.

“A lot of homeowners don’t realize how important it is to update your electrical panel every 10 years,” said Worthington. “Forty-four percent say the biggest benefit of electrical panel upgrades is energy efficiency/cost savings as an old panel may be draining the system. Among other concerns such as outages, incidents and fires, it’s essential for homeowners to get their panels inspected regularly.”

Survey Methodology

This survey was conducted online within the United States by Censuswide on behalf of Mr. Electric, a Neighborly company from February 10-13, 2023, among 2,018 U.S. adults. For more information, please contact Rebecca Sefter at rsefter@gscommunications.com
