Nearly four tons of donated pet food will be loaded onto trucks headed for the Seattle Humane Society later this morning. That’s thanks to an effort by employees at local pet insurance company Trupanion who are hoping to help local animals in need. And while that’s a lot of food (or as they stated in their press info, the equivalent of 5,578 Venti Peppermint Mochas or 8 King County Metro Buses or 41 Marshawn Lynch’s or enough to fill 7 Seattle Great Wheel gondolas!) it doesn’t fill the need in our area.

Trupanion is challenging the public to help as well by donating to local animal shelters during the holidays.

Here’s just a few local charities to consider:
Paws
Seattle Pug Rescue
Seattle Animal Shelter
Seattle Area Feline Rescue
