Dr. Jack Stephens, President of Pets Best Insurance explains why we are racing to save pets.
August 1, 2007 (Boise, ID) - Far too many pets are euthanized in animal shelters after not being adopted, in spite of the value they could bring to pet families. Pets Best is doing something about this sad issue with the Pets Best ShelterBest program. ShelterBest is a program designed to increase adoptions, provide financial responsibility for a pet’s care, decrease the cost of insurance and provide needed donations back to the shelter.
“Our NASCAR Driver Brett Thompson and his adopted shelter dog Bowdy have been great in this effort. We are raising even more awareness for shelters as we race the #61, Pets Best Insurance Monte Carlo across the county racing to save pets! Visit our web site at www.petsbest.com for our race schedule, and to find a participating shelter near you! Rescue a wonderful pet, save yourself money and help your community shelter!” states, Dr. Jack Stephens of Pets Best.
Here is how it works: ShelterBest is a Pets Best program for shelter adoptions that insures shelter pets at a discount for the adopter, creating a positive outcome for the new pet family. Pets Best also donates needed funds back to the shelter. Importantly, pets with insurance receive better care when needed and are much less likely to be relinquished back to the shelter due to a medical problem or accident. Pet owners pay a budgetable monthly premium and have the peace of mind knowing we are there when an accident or illness occurs. The ShelterBest plan is simple and easy to understand, paying 80% after deductible and providing coverage worldwide.
Pet owners receive a shelter discount on Pets Best insurance and Shelters receive donations back. In addition to our donation, pet owners will have the opportunity to donate their discount back to the shelter to further increase shelter donations, saving even more pets. It is a win-win for everyone, especially pets.
Pets Best wants to not just help get pets adopted, but Pets Best is “Racing to Save Pets” by bringing awareness of the value, love and joy that a shelter pet can bring to humans. Shelter pets are generally healthier in the long run, so Pets Best provides a group discount for all shelter pets from participating shelters. “Shelter pets make great pets. My wife and I know this from personal experience at adopting, socializing, training then placing abandoned pets in many households. Cooper; our little doxy/Chihuahua mix, was rescued from a dumpster, where he had been abandoned several years ago and is a wonderful therapy pet and addition to our home. Santos, a rescued puppy from Todo Santos Mexico, became a wonderful addition to a local family after we adopted him on a vacation in Mexico and brought him back home with us. My wife and I have many personal stories of rescued pets becoming wonderful family members,” says Dr. Stephens.
