Irvine, CA, February 01, 2013 --(PR.com)-- Stanbridge College, a technical college that offers Masters, Bachelor and Associate of Science degrees and diploma programs in Allied Health and Information Technology, raised funds and donated over $1,500 to the Irvine Pet Complex and its charity donation drive benefiting the Irvine Animal Care Center (IACC) in continued support of homeless, neglected and abused pets. Students, staff and faculty also collected pet food, leashes, blankets, towels, snacks, beds, toys and more for the IACC in a two-week long donation drive in December. This is the second time in which Stanbridge College REACH-Beyond the Classroom™ partnered with the Orange County veterinary practice to raise funds and donations for animal care.

“Irvine Pet Complex was proud to support the Irvine Animal Care Center with our 2nd Annual Holiday Charity Drive,” stated Dr. Rob Harner, D.V.M. of the Irvine Pet Complex. “This year's event was a great success and many pets will receive bedding, food, and supplies thanks to the generous donation from Stanbridge College. We greatly appreciate their participation and support.”

The Irvine Pet Complex is a veterinary practice in Irvine, California. Through its community outreach, the Irvine Pet Complex is involved in the care and treatment of many stray animals that have been placed in loving homes throughout the Irvine Area. The IACC is a progressive and innovative municipal animal shelter that continually strives to strengthen the human-animal bond and improve the welfare of animals by promoting their humane care and treatment. In December of 2012, the IACC has assisted in over 239 animal adoptions and rescues.

Community outreach is at the forefront of Stanbridge College’s student life. In the past, students have volunteered with Stanbridge College REACH to collect donations of food and supplies for both the Irvine Animal Care Center and Orange County Animal Care Center.
