Partners

Our corporate partners contribute to our goal of finding cures and saving pets with cancer and other devastating diseases, in ways Frankie’s Friends could not do on our own. They help spread the word about our work and generate financial support for our programs. In turn, our corporate partners impact many, many animals’ lives through their involvement with Frankie’s Friends, in ways the partners could not do on their own.

Ellen DeGeneres and Halo, Purely for Pets®

Halo pet food’s Liv-a-Littles™ all-natural treats were donated and are being offered for sale at each of the BluePearl Veterinary Partner hospitals to raise money for each hospital’s Hope Fund. Emmy Award-winning Ellen DeGeneres, an owner of Halo, donated a truckload of Halo’s pet treats to Frankie’s Friends to help the cause when Dr. Neil Shaw appeared on her nationally syndicated talk show and appeared in People magazine as a Hometown Hero in February 2009.
