Synchrony to Match Donations up to $50,000 to Support Care of Pets at Lazin Animal Foundation Trauma Hospital

STAMFORD, Conn., September 6, 2024 – Synchrony (NYSE: SYF), a premier consumer finance company, has announced that CareCredit has partnered with the Arizona Humane Society (AHS) on a campaign to match up to $50,000 in donations to the organization now through October 15. With this match commitment, every dollar donated to AHS will have double the impact, helping animals in critical need through the Lazin Animal Foundation Hospital, one of the largest U.S. shelter-based trauma hospitals.

"Shelters across the U.S. continue to navigate overcapacity challenges, and the Arizona Humane Society is no different,” said Dr. Steven Hansen, AHS President and CEO. “We’re on pace to intake more than 22,000 pets this year and Synchrony’s match is one reason why we’ll be able to provide lifesaving care for this unprecedented number of pets.”

This latest match campaign will support general operating expenses at AHS’ trauma hospital, along with intensive care units, comprehensive medical and foster programs, vital animal ambulance and investigation services, behavior intervention programs and pet adoptions. To demonstrate the impact of these programs, this match campaign tells the story of Oliver, a 9-month-old American Pit Bull Terrier who was found as a stray in desperate need of a second chance.

“The cost of veterinary care continues to be a pain point for pet parents across the country. It’s also one of the top reasons why pets are surrendered to already full shelters,” said Boo Larsen, SVP & General Manager, Veterinary and Pet Care, Synchrony. “This campaign is just one example of our continued commitment to not only helping pets get the care they need now, but also to educate and resource pet parents in Arizona and nationwide so they understand how best to manage their pet’s lifetime of care and live better together.”

For more than 35 years, CareCredit has been a valuable financing option for all types of veterinary services, treatments and diagnostics, helping to give pet owners peace of mind and the confidence that they are ready to care for their beloved pets throughout their lifetime. CareCredit is offered in more than 25,000 veterinary practice locations across the U.S., and pet parents looking for a flexible way to pay for their animal's care can quickly see if they prequalify for the CareCredit credit card in real time on any smart device with no impact to their credit score.
