Do you love both your pizza and your pet? If yes, then this news may brighten up your day. A United States-based pizza shop has started a heart-warming initiative to help dogs find permanent shelters. As per a report in ANI, they initiated the campaign by putting flyers for the canines on pizza boxes (pizza boxes having pictures of displaced dogs). The campaign by the pizzeria also includes a provision for giving USD 50 gift certificate to the people who adopt the dogs featured on their boxes. 

As per the report, the idea of such an innovative campaign came to Marry Alloy, a franchise owner of the pizzeria (named The Just Pizza & Wing Co), when she was volunteering with the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA).

She said, event coordinator Kimberly LaRussa, with whom she volunteered at the SPCA, texted her one night and said, “Hey, what would you think about putting pictures of the dogs on pizza boxes?”

Alloy was excited by the idea and according to the ANI report, took “permission from the franchise to do it and immediately got to work.”
