About the Program
The “My Mutt” program is Pet Food Express’ and Virtual Pet Adoption’s attempt to raise awareness of the most popular breed of all, the Mutt. The large, striking pictures on the walls of the Pet Food Express stores are images of dogs and cats that have been adopted from Bay Area shelters and rescue groups. These photos are our way of celebrating these wonderful animals and also a means of helping out the rescue organizations and shelters who do the tireless front line work of finding homes for animals in need. We could not be more proud to have them on our walls or to have played a role in helping these animals to find a new home through www.virtualpetadoptions.com.
You can participate in the My Mutt program by letting our talented photographer take a picture of your dog, cat or other pet to hang on our walls. Purebred dogs and cats are welcome, too! Your participation will help us to promote the adoption of rescued pets as well as directly contributing to the continued existence of your favorite shelter or rescue group.
Here is how the My Mutt program works: Pet Food Express pays all associated costs of producing the striking photographs and mounting them in our stores. We estimate that each photograph costs us about $400 to produce & install. When you donate at least $250 to a Bay Area animal shelter or rescue group of your choice, your pet's photo* will be produced & mounted on a wall of a Pet Food Express store. For a donation of $500 or more, you can keep the poster after it has been displayed for about 10 - 12 months. Your donation will help sustain the work of shelters and rescue groups by providing food, medical needs, space and other miscellaneous shelter needs. Your donation may be tax deductible, and most importantly, you get the great feeling that comes with helping homeless pets!
*Minimum $250 donation for each pet in photograph.
For example: Two dogs in one photo is a $500 donation
Pet Food Express and the photographer will retain all rights to the photos, but you may request a digital copy of the image we choose to print.
