Stella & Chewy's is Giving Away a Year's Worth of Pet Food to Lucky Rescue Pets!

That's awesome! But why?

Adopting a pet is all about Unconditional Love—few people know that better than Stella & Chewy's founder Marie Moody. In 1997, Marie adopted a rescue dog named Stella from a local animal shelter, and quickly realized Stella needed a buddy: enter, Chewy! The trio quickly became inseparable, and just as quickly, Marie took the advice of a veterinarian and began feeding Chewy a raw diet to manage his health issues. Not only did Chewy make a full recovery, but both he and Stella thrived on their new food, leading Marie to pursue her passion for pet nutrition and start her own business – Stella & Chewy’s.

In loving memory of these two rescue pups who inspired it all, Stella & Chewy's gave away a YEAR'S WORTH of FREE pet food to a lucky rescue pet in our Unconditional Love Contest. We know rescue pets change our lives in the most incredible ways, and we want to hear your rescue’s story!

The Winner: Ginger and Katherine

From Foster to Forever

"Before you became mine you were a dream. I wished for a dog, year after year as a child. The moment I moved to NYC and was able to become a foster I did. Almost a decade went by and either the timing wasn't right or the dog was great but I just didn't get that forever pup feeling deep in my heart. All the patience and waiting paid off the day I put my faith in you as being the one to fulfil my dream."
