"Over the past 18 months, shelters, including our own, have seen an unprecedented impact on our communities and the way we deploy our missions, including adoptions.

MetLife Pet Insurance is donating $500,000 to animal rescue shelters across the U.S. as part of an ongoing commitment to support shelters with operational and care costs, the insurance company reported.
"Animal shelters have always played an important role in our communities," Katie Blakeley, vice president and head of MetLife Pet Insurance, said in a release.

We are proud to offer our support to shelters, so they can continue their important work in their communities helping animals find their families."
