CHICAGO, IL – In fiscal year 2012, Lincoln Bark gave roughly $4,000 in charitable donations to nonprofits and dog rescues throughout the US. The three main recipients of Lincoln Bark’s donations were PAWS Chicago, The Anti-Cruelty Society and the Fido Friendly “Get Your Licks on Route 66” adoption tour.

     “Part of Lincoln Bark’s core mission is to promote animal welfare. We were honored and thrilled to partner with such dynamic charities in 2012, and we are looking forward to even more opportunities to give back in 2013,” says Lincoln Bark’s President and founder, Bobbye Cochran.

     Cumulatively, Lincoln Bark donated approximately $2,500 to PAWS Chicago and The Anti-Cruelty Society. The donations included gift baskets for fundraising events, treat donations of Lincoln Bark’s all natural,  chia-powered dog treats for the shelter animals, and sponsored booths at PAWS’ Run for Their Lives 8K / 4K and The Anti-Cruelty Society’s Bark in the Park 5K. Additionally, Lincoln Bark’s Director of Marketing, Michelle Laing, raised approximately $600 for homeless pets in Chicago by running in her first Chicago Marathon on behalf of Team PAWS.

     As one of the premier sponsors of the Route 66 adoption tour, Lincoln Bark donated $1,500 worth of their human-grade treats for adoptable dogs at 15 shelters from California to Chicago. This fourth annual pet adoption and humane outreach tour helped place over 160 pets into their new forever homes.

     “We are always looking for ways to get involved in the pet community, whether that’s through charitable donations or volunteering our time,” says Laing. Lincoln Bark welcomes new opportunities and inquiries. All inquires should be directed to info@lincolnbark.com .
