Celebrate 3 Million Pets with Wisdom Panel™
It’s time to get your party hats on! Our friends at Wisdom Panel™, the world leader in pet genetics and maker of Wisdom Panel™ pet DNA tests, have reached an incredible milestone and they want to celebrate with you. They’ve hit a big number, with 3 million pets tested worldwide across their range of products—more than any other pet DNA service provider. What better way to revel in this accomplishment than to pay it forward?
As a thank you for all the great work you do to save animals, Wisdom Panel™ is generously providing $10,000 in cash grants to the Adopt-a-Pet.com shelter and rescue network. The 3 Million and More grant program will focus on helping shelters and rescues better care for homeless pets by providing funds to go towards medical needs. Adopt-a-Pet.com and Wisdom Panel™ will award two cash grants of $5,000 each to the organizations with the most compelling applications. All you have to do is follow the instructions below to be considered!
Let’s give a big chip chip hurray and a thank you to Wisdom Panel™ for their generosity.
