The Tractor Supply Co. store in Pell City donated 69 bags of pet food and 44 cans of food to feed dogs and cats in need of adoption.

“More often than not, animal shelters and rescues depend greatly on food donations to support the pets they take in that await adoption,” said Dee Lasseigne, manager of the Pell City Tractor Supply store in a press release. “Our goal at Tractor Supply is to do our part in helping adoption efforts in our community because we know that pets are more than just dogs and cats, they are family.”

Tractor Supply presented the pet food donation to the Pell City Animal Control Center on Tuesday. An entire pallet of bagged pet food was loaded into the Control Center van, and another shopping cart filled with additional bagged and canned food was also loaded. 

The Moody location of Tractor Supply also donated around 60 bags of pet food and 20 cases of canned food. Each case contained 12 cans of food.

“They really take care of us,” Steve Gaines with the Pell City Animal Control Center said. “We are very well pleased.”

In addition to the pet food donation, the Pell City Tractor Supply hosts pet adoption events throughout the year. Visit TSCEventPartners.com or call the store at 205-814-0000 to learn more about working with Tractor Supply for pet adoption events.
