Get Joy Joins Sierra Delta and Punts for Pups
September 9, 2021 - Tampa Bay Buccaneers punter Bradley Pinion is partnering with Sierra Delta and dog wellness company Get Joy. The goal is to assist United States veterans with dog adoption and training expenses during the 2021 NFL season. Bradley and his wife Kaeleigh, started Punts for Pups in 2019 to inspire dog adoption in their community. They do this by covering fees at the Hillsborough County Pet Resource Center.
This season, Sierra Delta will connect 30 veterans to dogs from local shelters through their Life Buddy Wellness Program. Get Joy will also allocate $500 training scholarships to 30 veterans to cover basic training for their Life Buddies. The Pinion’s will continue their partnership with the Hillsborough County Pet Resource Center. Moreover, they will continue to donate to veterans adopting rescue dogs through Sierra Delta’s Life Buddy Wellness Program.
Statement from Buccaneers punter Bradley Pinion:
“Kaeleigh and I are excited to partner with Sierra Delta and Get Joy to further our goal of getting as many shelter dogs into loving homes as possible. Being able to provide a companion for a veteran and a home for a shelter dog is an idea we wholeheartedly support. Having 3 of our 4 dogs come from shelters/rescues we know first-hand the impact the dog can have on a family and the impact a family can have on a dog. We look forward to seeing the impact that this partnership will have!”
Statement from Tom Arrix, Founder & CEO of Get Joy:
“We are so honored to a part of Punts for Pups this season. Our mission is to unleash wellness for dogs and hopefully people, through fresh, wholesome, nutrition. These amazing, unconditionally loving animals are so important to the lives of our veterans, keeping them healthy, should be our collective responsibility.”
