Help Your Favorite Pets Start Fresh: Vote for $10,000 Rescue Grants
No matter the age, no matter the breed, no matter the circumstance, all dogs and cats deserve a Fresh Start in life.
That's why we’re proud to announce the early return of our annual Fresh Start campaign, where we ask fans to choose which rescues will receive $10,000 from Freshpet!
Like last year, we’re asking our Freshpet fans to nominate and vote for your favorite rescue or shelter. Here’s how it will work:
- Nominate your favorite rescue – From April 30 to May 10, we’ll be collecting nominations at Freshpet.com/Fresh-Start.
- Vote for the winner on Freshpet.com – Then on May 11 the Voting period will begin! You can cast 1 vote each day until May 17.
Five shelters or rescues with the most votes by May 17 will each win $10,000 from Freshpet. And since Fresh Start is all about the underdog, 10 runners-up will each receive $2,000 for their organizations, as well.
So click here and nominate the rescue or shelter that’s near & dear to your heart.

As part of our ongoing mission to do right by Pets, People, and the Planet, Fresh Start celebrates the human-animal bond and highlights Freshpet’s unique commitment to loving the underdog. Freshpet has also supported several charitable initiatives throughout the company’s 14 year history, such as Bark For A Cure®, 4 Paws For Ability, and the National Forrest Foundation. Thanks for joining us in our ongoing mission to help all pets live happier, healthier, more tail-wagging lives!
