Copper Dog Pledges Funds To Animal Welfare Organizations
Making Big Impacts In Local Communities
NEW
YORK, May 20, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- In honor
of National Rescue Dog Day on May 20,
Copper Dog Scotch Whisky is partnering with animal welfare
organizations across the country to match adoption fees to
celebrate the occasion. Copper Dog will match up to $5,000 in donations to eight charities, pledging
a total of $40,000. The charities who
will have Animal Haven (N.Y.), Second Chance
Rescue (N.Y.), The Labelle Foundation (Calif.), Wags
& Walks Rescue (Calif.), Austin Pets Alive! (Texas), St. Hubert's Animal Welfare
Center (N.J.), Animal Rescue of the Rockies (Colo.) and
PAWS Chicago (Ill.).
Copper Dog is proud to support local charities making a big impact
in their communities. The brand has partnered with 25 animal
welfare nonprofits and has donated more than $500,000 since January
2021 to support their rescue initiatives. These donations
provide critical funds to smaller, local organizations that are
committed to improving the lives of dogs in need.
"We are proud to partner with local rescue centers and shelters
across the US to double funds raised this National Rescue Dog Day,
so that they can care for even more dogs in need," said
Jamie Young, Director of Single
Malts, Diageo. "These local organizations share our rascally
spirit, advocating for every last underdog in their
communities."
National Rescue Dog Day brings awareness to the countless number of
dogs in shelters that are in need of homes or special care. The day
recognizes the benefits of adopting four-legged friends and the
importance of proper rescue and responsible pet care from
shelters.
When you adopt from the enclosed organizations during the program
timeframe, Copper Dog will double your adoption fee, allowing these
charities to rescue even more pets in need:

mischief, sociability and rascaliness," said Piers Adam, Founder of Copper Dog. "We're
honored to support man's best friends and all the people giving
them new homes on National Rescue Dog Day."

ABOUT COPPER DOG
Copper Dog is an award winning
Blended Malt Scotch Whisky from the heart of Speyside, Scotland. The liquid is a unique blend of no
fewer than eight single malt whiskies, slowly married together in
old oak casks. Craftily combined together resulting in a whisky
that's simple enough to be approachable, but complex enough to keep
up with the conversation. Copper Dog whisky originated at The
Craigellachie Hotel pub and was created as a tribute to the local
Speyside rascals who worked in the nearby distilleries. This
Blended Malt Scotch Whisky can stand alone or complement other
ingredients when mixed into a cocktail. To learn more about Copper
Dog, please visit https://www.copperdogwhisky.com/en-us/ or follow
