Tractor Supply awards animal rescue groups

Tractor Supply Company has announced the eight winners of its annual “Rescue Your Rescue” social media contest.

Held in partnership with Canidae Premium Pet Food, the contest awarded each winning animal rescue group $25,000, for a $200,000 total donation.

“At Tractor Supply, we have a deep passion for all animals, so we love the opportunity to support these groups that share our commitment to providing rescue, care and adoption support for animals in need,” said Nicole Logan, vice president of divisional merchandise management at Tractor Supply. “During the contest, it is amazing to see how each community rallies around these organizations to help them get some much-needed assistance. It is wonderful to be able to reward and thank these groups for all that they do for pets and animals.”

Tractor Supply kicked off the ninth annual Rescue Your Rescue contest during Pet Appreciation Week from Sept. 7-12.
