Albertans Lose Weight In Support Of Rescue Animals

Aug. 8, 2014 - PRLog -- Animal Rescue Transfer System (ARTS) has adopted a new fundraising initiative through a partnership with Visalus Sciences (Vi) called the Paws and Protein Project.

Home of the number one weight loss program, Vi is the provider of healthy products that include Vi Shake Mix, Nutri Cookies, and Vi Crunch Protein Cereal. “The Paws and Protein Project will allow people to get healthy and reach their personal goals while helping animals in need, it’s a win-win situation” says Amy Lafleche, Visalus Director.

ARTS is pleased to announce that as much as 25% of Vi product sales will be put back into their program that helps move animals out of danger until they are accepted into Rescue. This is a generous percentage compared to other efforts that can be as little as 10%.

“We want to give our supporters a chance to help themselves while helping our animals,” adds Inge Nielsen of ARTS. The focus of the initiative will be on ARTS newest program that helps find placements for senior animals.

Visalus programs are responsible for over 3 million transformations and was named the number one weight loss program in North America.

Supporters who are interested in taking part in the program can purchase products at the fundraising website:  www.arts.myvi.net  Products that they order, will be delivered to their home. “It’s a lot different than traditional fundraising where volunteer time is taxed for coordination and delivery. It’s really simple,” says Nielsen.

Inge Nielsen, Amy Lafleche, ARTS representatives, and Visalus representatives are available for interview by phone, in-person, or in writing.
