Four Cork organisations among the benefiting charities
Maxi Zoo Ireland has donated €200,000 worth of pet products and food to various charities across Ireland. Nationally, 25 animal welfare organisations across 15 counties will benefit from this donation, which includes dog food, cat food and non-food products such as bedding, toys, leashes, collars and puppy pads.
Maxi Zoo has 30 stores nationwide, including five in Cork, at Ballincollig, Mahon, Blackpool, Midleton and Turner’s Cross. Cork Animal Care Society; Pauline’s Rescue; Munster Lost and Found, and H.A.R.T (Homeless Animal Rescue Team) are all beneficiaries of this latest fundraising drive by the pet retailer.
Enrico De Luca, Managing Director at Maxi Zoo said, “This donation reflects our ongoing commitment to making a positive impact on the lives of animals and those who care for them. We would like to thank all our Maxi Zoo customers who have been so supportive in each of our 30 stores, and who always get behind our community initiatives.”
The campaign is one of many ways in which Maxi Zoo Ireland is involved with the welfare of animals. It also partnered with Husky Rescue Ireland in October of last year, to raise money for the organisation through its Friendship Connects Pendants campaign. Furthermore, the Shelter Wishes campaign, which ran in December 2023, saw Maxi Zoo customers granting 3,839 wishes to animal welfare organisations across 15 counties.
Maxi Zoo’s commitment to animal welfare extends beyond these campaigns, with ongoing efforts to support local animal charities through donation bins in all stores across the country.
