Seattle, Wash., July 23, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- In honor of National Feed a Rescue Pet Week, Rescue Bank , a Signature Program of GreaterGood.org , and The Animal Rescue Site celebrate the success story of a stray dog named Addie. The goal of this charitable week (July 23-29) is to raise funds to provide 5 million meals for homeless pets across the country and to find Addie a forever home.
Addie is a stray dog that was found by an Arizona rescue and was diagnosed with a rare condition that resulted in the erosion of her joints. Addie had gone so long without treatment that the carpal joints in her front legs were basically nonexistent and she had resorted to crawling on a daily basis.

They were also able to provide front leg braces that gave her the opportunity to walk, run and play again!”
During National Feed a Rescue Pet Week, the pet-loving community can support more rescue dogs like Addie and visit www.feedarescuepet.com. A $10 donation will pay to deliver 400 meals and saves animal welfare organizations $170 in food costs.
In addition to providing a direct donation, animal-lovers can contribute to the cause by shopping on the site or with a free daily click at The Animal Rescue Site .
