Pethealth Inc.: Save a Life With a 'Like'

ROLLING MEADOWS, ILLINOIS--(Marketwire - Feb. 9, 2011) - Pethealth Inc. (TSX:PTZ) — One in three pets that entered an animal shelter in 2010 never found a home.* But there's hope. Petango wants to raise awareness about the importance of pet adoption and eliminate the need for euthanasia entirely. With its "Save a Life with a Like" campaign, Petango pledges to donate $1 to animal shelters for every 'Like' its Facebook Fan Page receives, up to $100,000. The money raised will go to various Petango-partner animal shelters across North America in the effort to help homeless pets find homes.

"A home for every adoptable pet, that's Petango's mission," says Susan Arts, Vice President of Marketing at Pethealth Inc. "With our Facebook 'Like' campaign, we're asking fellow pet lovers to help generate $100,000 in donations for our partner animal shelters. The funds donated will go a long way toward caring for homeless cats and dogs until they find a loving home," says Arts.

To put a "furry" face to the campaign, several adoptable pets are featured in the "Save a Life with a Like" video available on the Petango Facebook Fan Page. One of its feline stars, Peregrine, was surrendered to The Anti-Cruelty Society in Chicago because his original owners didn't have time to care for him. The good news is that Peregrine has been adopted since making his film debut on Petango.com, but there still are many pets available for adoption.

"We believe every adoptable animal deserves the best chance at a new home," says Robyn Barbiers, President of The Anti-Cruelty Society. "With thousands of animals passing through our doors each year, every dollar and every adoption counts. We are thrilled to be a part of the Petango 'Save a Life with a Like' campaign, as it's a great way to help homeless pets and spread the good word about pet adoption."

Throughout the campaign, Petango will profile adoptable pets on its Facebook Fan Page and update fans on how donations are helping homeless pets.
