Orphan Pets and Military Vets Benefit from Soapy Joe’s Promotion

Soapy Joe’s Car Wash to Donate to Helen Woodward Animal Center and Veterans for every FREE Custom Air Freshener Claimed

 

San Diego, Calif.  (October 3, 2023) – Helen Woodward Animal Center’s available cats and dogs have been in a lather over an upcoming promotion that aims to find homes for a large number of orphan pets. Thanks to a special partnership with Soapy Joe’s, San Diego community members are invited to support the family-owned carwash business’s two beloved charities, Helen Woodward Animal Center and STEP (Support the Enlisted Project), all while claiming FREE customizable air fresheners from Soapy Joe’s Car Wash.

Soapy Joe’s “Pets and Vets” initiative aims to drive donations to the two organizations that make a difference in the lives of families across our city. The amazing members of our military make sacrifices for our freedoms and the pets that come into our lives bring joy, love and comfort.  Soapy Joe’s wanted to thank vets and pets by donating to the non-profit organizations Helen Woodward Animal Center and STEP.

Now through Veteran’s Day on November 11th, anyone can submit a photo of their Pet or a special Veteran online at SoapyJoesCarWash.com/Pets-And-Vets, and receive a FREE car air-freshener customized with that special photo.  In addition, for every photo submitted, Soapy Joe’s will donate $1 to Helen Woodward Animal Center and to STEP, up to $5,000 each! 

 

 

In an effort to encourage more adoptions, the custom air-fresheners will carry the Helen Woodward Animal Center logo and Soapy Joe’s has created limited-edition air fresheners that feature the faces of some of Helen Woodward Animal’s harder to place pets.  These longer-term residents are orphan pets with a few more challenges getting adopted, such as the requirement that they be the only pet in the house or pets that require larger yards and higher fences.

“We are absolutely in love with the part of the promotion that highlights some of our very favorite orphan pets,” said Helen Woodward Animal Center’s Public Relations Manager Monica Petruzzelli.  “These babies are so deserving of beautiful homes but take a little more time to place and getting their faces out into the public gives them that chance.  With every fresh breath, we are a step closer to saving lives. This generous partnership doesn’t just sweeten the air, it sweetens the lives of pets and veterans in need,”

“Partnering with Helen Woodward Animal Center on yet another first-of-its-kind community program is so fulfilling,” said Soapy Joe’s Car Wash Marketing Manager Krista Moffett, “Our pets and vets bring us so much joy, and we’re hoping to reflect that love back to the community with customized air fresheners featuring YOUR loved ones!”

Join us in spreading hope and fragrance! By celebrating your pets and military friends and family with a free custom air freshener, you can make a difference for pets and vets just like them. On Veteran’s Day, Soapy Joe’s will also be offering FREE car washes to active-duty, veterans, and their spouses. Free air fresheners will be mailed to community members at no charge. To find a pet of your own to celebrate, please visit AnimalCenter.org.
