Organization rebrands as EveryPet
After nearly 23 years, First Coast No More Homeless Pets has rebranded to EveryPet.
The rebrand reflects the organization’s growth, mission and evolving capabilities since its founding in 2002. EveryPet exists to keep “every pet” in their homes, delivering accessible and affordable veterinary care and other pet ownership resources, such as a pet food bank so families never have to choose between their finances and pets.
Along with the name change, the organization is introducing an updated logo, refreshed brand identity, new website and enhanced communications. These were developed in partnership with High Reason, a Jacksonville-based marketing communications agency, on a pro-bono basis.
To celebrate its rebrand, EveryPet and High Reason are holding a pet food drive, calling on Northeast Florida to donate dry dog and cat food to EveryPet throughout October at its 464 Cassat Ave. location. High Reason will match the first 500 pounds of dry dog and cat food donated.
EveryPet is a nonprofit veterinary organization that has provided affordable, accessible care to pets and families since 2002. For more information, go to www.everypet.org.
