Association, offered Pet Alliance of Greater Orlando with a $10,000 donation. The donation sought to help Pet Alliance of Greater Orlando reconstruct its 'facility' after the fire that shattered its 'public veterinary' and the majority of its 'shelter'. In October 2022, Purina announced its partnership with Spot Pet which sought to catalyze ensuring the wellbeing of pets. By the end of 2022, Purina celebrated its 50 years of active production at its pet food factory in Dunkirk.
