Rays Partner with Pet Pal Animal Shelter
Every time Evan Longoria hits a homerun this year the Tampa Bay Rays and HydroDog, a mobile dog grooming business based in Tampa, will each donate a $100 to Pet Pal.
Pet Pal Animal Shelter and the Tampa Bay Rays are partnering for the 2012 Major League Baseball season to help abandoned and abused pets in St. Petersburg.
For every home run Evan Longoria hits, the Rays third baseman will join Bright House Sports Network and the Rays to each donate $100 to Pet Pal Animal Shelter, a no-kill, non-profit shelter in St. Pete.
A local Tampa Bay-area business is also stepping up to the plate. HydroDog Mobile Dog Grooming, based in Tampa, will match the $100 donation to Pet Pal Animal Shelter for every homerun Longoria hits, Pet Pal said.
