Wilton's Canine Company to be Honored by ROAR

The Ridgefield Operation for Animal Rescue (ROAR) has named Wilton’s Canine Company its Community Business Star of 2018 for the company’s long-time support of the ROAR’s mission to find loving homes for pets in need.

The Award will be presented during the shelter’s annual fundraising gala, ROAR with Laughter, February 24 at Rolling Hills Country Club. Tickets are available through the ROAR website or by calling 203-438-0158.

Canine Company has been a ROAR supporter since 2011, providing contributions to the operating budget as well as volunteer service by its employees. Additionally, in 2017, the company sent its Mobile Pet Spa to the ROAR shelter to provide makeovers for adoption candidates, so they look their best when they meet prospective adopters.

Sandy Sullivan, Vice President of the ROAR Board of Directors, said “We are grateful to Canine Company and its leadership for its long support of ROAR’s mission to find forever homes for the dogs and cats in our care.”

“ROAR’s mission of finding forever families for homeless pets is close to our hearts,” said Jennifer Hill, President and CEO of Canine Company. “As pet lovers ourselves, we are grateful to ROAR’s staff and volunteers for all they do to help animals in need and happy to be able to help their work.”
