RPM has saved approximately 92,000 homeless
animals since 2013
HOUSTON, Dec. 30,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Rescued Pets Movement Inc.
(RPM), the largest homeless animal rescue, rehabilitation and
transport nonprofit in the United
States, today announced that it has been selected by Main
Street Capital Corporation (NYSE: MAIN) ("Main Street") as its
charity of choice for the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) 2024
Global Giving Campaign.
RPM rescues at-risk pets from overcrowded shelters across the
Houston area, provides necessary
veterinary care, and transports them to areas with high demand for
adoptable pets. Transporting homeless pets from shelters with fewer
resources to those with higher demand increases the chances for
adoptable animals to find loving homes. Since its founding in
September 2013, RPM has saved the
lives of approximately 92,000 homeless animals.
Main Street Capital, a leading provider of long-term debt and
equity capital to lower middle market companies and debt capital to
middle market companies, has committed to providing both financial
support and volunteer resources to RPM, a 501(c)(3) organization
dedicated to giving homeless pets a second chance at life. This
partnership is part of Main Street's broader corporate social
responsibility initiatives, demonstrating the company's dedication
to creating positive change in the communities it serves. Main
Street's employees have actively engaged in volunteer opportunities
with RPM, assisting with various aspects of the organization's
operations, including animal care, transport preparation, and
community outreach events.
Cindy Perini, Co-founder and
President of RPM, expressed gratitude for the recognition: "We are
immensely thankful to Main Street for selecting RPM as their
charity of choice for the NYSE's Global Giving Campaign. This
support will directly enhance our operations, allowing us to better
serve the needs of displaced animals in the greater Houston area and beyond. With this
partnership, we can expand our medical services, improve our
boarding facilities, and ensure safe transportation for the animals
in our care. Main Street's commitment empowers us to continue our
vital work, helping us save and transform the lives of countless
animals. In 2024 alone, RPM has already rescued 7,350 animals,
bringing our total to approximately 92,000 since our inception in
2013. Through our dedicated rescue efforts, veterinary care, and
transport initiatives, we strive to create a world where every
animal is valued and loved. Together with Main Street, we are
leaving a lasting impact, ensuring that these animals are no longer
voiceless victims but cherished companions deserving of a loving
home."
"We are excited to support Rescued Pets Movement through this
year's NYSE Global Giving Campaign," said Dwayne L. Hyzak, Chief Executive Officer of Main
Street Capital Corporation. "RPM's mission aligns perfectly with
our pledge to making a positive lasting impact in our community. By
supporting their efforts, we're not only helping save animal lives
but also enriching the lives of families across the country who
adopt these pets. At Main Street, we believe in the power of
community involvement and the ripple effect of positive change. Our
partnership with RPM allows us to extend our impact beyond the
business world and into the realm of animal welfare. This
collaboration also provides our employees with meaningful volunteer
opportunities, fostering a culture of compassion and community
engagement within our organization. We look forward to seeing the
tangible results of our support and the lives it will touch, both
human and animal."
