More than 77,000 people and 2,000 pets participated in Trupanion’s Tricked Out for Treats Pet-tacular.
SEATTLE, Nov. 07, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — His name is Bass. And thanks to Trupanion, shelter organizations and pet parents nationwide, this loveable 18-week-old Pomsky now has a new home. Bass was adopted during Trupanion’s Tricked Out for Treats Pet-tacular.
“I’m overjoyed we were able to help Bass find a new home. The bond between people and their pets is such a special one. At Trupanion, our mission is to protect that bond by supporting pet parents and ensuring the health of their pets. It was wildly entertaining to see all the pets and pet parents in their costumes but more than anything else, the Tricked Out for Treats contest really reinforced why Trupanion’s mission is so important,” said Margi Tooth, CEO and President of Trupanion.
More than 77,000 people, 2,000 pets and 120 shelters and rescue organizations participated in the Tricked Out for Treats Pet-tacular. Participants were able to submit pictures of their pets in Halloween costumes, compete for prizes and vote for pets in eight different categories.
About Tricked out for Treats Pet-tacular
Trupanion’s Tricked out for Treats Pet-tacular ran throughout October. Pet parents, shelters and rescue organizations were able to enter cats and dogs into eight different categories. Including “Solo Stunner” for pet close ups, “Clinic Charmer” spotlighting pets and veterinary team members, and “Adorable Adoptable” for pets up for adoption.
Bass was entered into the “Adorable Adoptable” category by Tiny N Tall Rescue Inc. in St. Charles, Illinois.
“When we saw the Tricked Out for Treats Pet-tacular contest we knew we had to participate. Finding new avenues for public exposure for our adoptable pets is hard, so finding one that was fun and cute looked like such a great opportunity. We’re so glad Bass has found a forever home,” said the volunteers of Tiny N Tall Rescue Inc.
Pets entered into the Tricked Out for Treats Pet-tacular contest were highlighted during a livestream event on October 30.
