Published

on

Invisible Fence® Brand is on a mission to prevent pets from filling shelters with their contest awarding $20,000 to support animal shelters across the country. Voting opens today until September 30, 2024.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn., Aug. 1, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Invisible Fence® Brand is hosting its sixth annual nationwide From Shelter to Forever Home Contest, awarding one animal shelter $10,000 and donating needed supplies to several other shelters. This initiative aims to bring awareness to lost dogs and educate pet parents about solutions to keep their furry friends safe, ensuring they don’t join the ranks of the millions of lost pets that fill shelters every year. The program will kick off on August 1st, with voting lasting until September 30th. As the pioneer in the pet containment industry, Invisible Fence® Brand asks the community to unite around this cause to continue promoting the initiative of keeping pets safe in their forever homes.

Raising Awareness for Lost Pets
According to the American Humane Society, approximately ten million dogs and cats are lost in the U.S. every year and less than 23% are reunited with their owners*. Through the From Shelter to Forever Home Contest, Invisible Fence® Brand hopes to reduce the number of missing pets and help increase the shelter’s return-to-owner rates. From August 1, 2024, to September 30, 2024, the public is invited to nominate their local animal shelter to give them a chance to win a grand prize of $10,000, donated on behalf of Invisible Fence® Brand. The shelter or rescue with the most nominations on September 30th will win the monetary donation. Additionally, Invisible Fence® will award $10,000 worth of supplies spread across 20 shelters nationwide to further support the mission.

“We’re thrilled to host our From Shelter to Forever Home Contest for a sixth year in a row”, said Marta Dalton, vice president of marketing for Invisible Fence® Brand. “Over the past six years, we have seen great success in this initiative in sharing our mission and passion for protecting pets. Invisible Fence® Brand, the leader in pet containment backed by over 50 years of experience, continues to keep this program live to ensure pets live a happy, healthy life while giving them the freedom they deserve.”

Shelters and rescue organizations across the U.S. are rallying for nominations and need their community’s support. We encourage you to share the contest on social media and nominate your local shelter by visiting https://www.invisiblefence.com/shelter-to-forever-home-contest to cast your vote.

From Shelter to Forever Home Making an Impact
2023 Grand Prize Winner Rags to Riches Animal Rescue received $10,000 to support their fight against a life-threatening parvovirus case that affected a handful of puppies in their care. With help from Invisible Fence® Brand, they were able to treat the puppies that otherwise would have resulted in euthanasia. “We are very appreciative of Invisible Fence® Brand for all the help that they give, not to us, but to all of the animals every day. Thank you so much for everything!” said Sierra, volunteer for Rags to Riches Animal Rescue.

Preventing Lost Pets Before They Become Lost
In addition to raising awareness for tools and resources to return lost pets to their families, Invisible Fence® Brand advocates products and solutions that prevent pets from escaping their yards. Since 1973, Invisible Fence® Brand has protected over three million cats and dogs with their outdoor containment solutions, including Boundary Plus® Wired System, Boundary Plus Smart® System, and all-new Invisible Fence® GPS Collar.

“We always want to avoid a lost dog, so an underground fence gives us ease in knowing the dog is going home to a secure environment. It allows the dog the freedom to roam their property safely. Dogs are great for being socialized on leashes for walks, but they also need that free time to run around and just be dogs. Invisible Fence® Brand creates that possibility!” said Kirstin Mende, chief executive officer and founder of Lucky Dog Refuge.

“Our exclusive technology is only a small part of what makes Invisible Fence® Brand the safest and most dependable pet containment solutions on the market,” said Wally Shaw, general manager for Invisible Fence® Brand. “But it is our team of certified pet trainers that ensure pets are successfully trained to guarantee confidence, comfortability and freedom within their boundaries.”

Taking preventative measures like installing an Invisible Fence® Brand system and recovery measures are the best ways to keep your pet within safe boundaries and living happily in their forever homes.

By

NANNING, China, April 19, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — This is a report from china-asean-media.com.

The 14-day “2026 Vietnam-China Cross-Border Tourism AI Empowerment Cooperation and Exchange Program” successfully concluded on April 19 in Nanning, Guangxi. Co-hosted by the Department of Culture and Tourism of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region (China) and the Departments of Culture, Sports, and Tourism of Quang Ninh, Lang Son, Cao Bang, and Tuyen Quang provinces (Vietnam), the event brought together nearly 30 tourism officials and industry representatives from the four Vietnamese localities.

With the theme “Vietnam-China AI + Cross-Border Tourism Exchange and Cooperation,” the program combined expert lectures, case studies on AI applications, and field visits. Participants gained insights into ASEAN-China tourism policies, AI-driven cross-border cooperation models, and smart tourism technologies. Hands-on training enabled them to use AI tools for decision-making, product development, and destination branding.

The delegation conducted field studies in Nanning, Liuzhou, Guilin, and Hechi. They visited the China-ASEAN AI Innovation and Cooperation Center, the “Easy Visit Guangxi” platform, the No. Wang Cultural Industrial Park, and the BAO JUN base, experiencing Guangxi’s smart, industrial, landscape, and wellness tourism offerings.

A meaningful part of the program was retracing President Ho Chi Minh’s revolutionary footsteps in Guangxi, including visits to the former site of Yucai School in Nanning, the former residence of Ho Chi Minh in Liuzhou, and the “September 2” School site in Guilin. On April 17, all participants attended the launch ceremony of the 2026 Vietnam-China Border People’s Carnival in Nanning, witnessing the deep friendship and mutual support between the border communities of both nations.

At the closing ceremony on April 18, a cross-border tourism product design competition was held. The team from Quang Ninh won the Best Design Award, while teams from Lang Son, Cao Bang, and Tuyen Quang received Excellence Awards. Mr. Lưu Bá Mạc, Vice Director of Lang Son’s Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism, praised the program for fostering practical cooperation and opening new directions for the “comrades and brothers” friendship between local authorities.

The program not only provided Vietnamese tourism professionals with valuable knowledge in AI and smart tourism but also laid a solid foundation for future cooperation in building shared tourism information platforms, developing smart products, and enhancing data connectivity. Both sides reaffirmed their commitment to advancing high-quality development of the cultural and tourism industry through AI, contributing to the strategic Vietnam-China community with a shared future.

LAHORE, Pakistan, April 19, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — TCL Solar made a strong impact at this year’s Solar Pakistan exhibition (17th-19th April, at Expo Centre Lahore) by unveiling a range of advanced solar solutions designed to meet the growing demand for low-carbon energy in South Asia and the Middle East.

The new T5 Pro solar module represents a major leap in N-type TOPCon technology, delivering breakthroughs in both conversion efficiency and power output. It is designed to be the new flagship product in the industry, offering enhanced performance and long-term value.

Key Highlights of the T5 Pro:

A unique product design: The T5 Pro specificity remains in its design architecture, with an overlapping tri-cut cell construction. This innovative structure significantly boosts the module’s performance, ensuring superior output and higher energy yield.

Product Reliability: The T5 Pro’s low-current technology ensures precise temperature control, with hotspot temperatures up to 45°C lower than conventional modules. This reduces the risk of fire hazards and improves overall module longevity. The module has also passed rigorous reliability tests, making it ideal for diverse applications, including commercial rooftops and ground-mounted power stations.

Customer Value: By enhancing energy generation and reducing project lifecycle costs, the T5 Pro provides a high return on investment for both residential and commercial solar applications.

TCL Solar’s Lightweight Module: Optimized for C&I Rooftops

TCL Solar’s Lightweight Module addresses the specific challenges faced by commercial and industrial (C&I) rooftops, particularly in areas with limited load-bearing capacity.

Improved Power Output: Weighing only 5.4 kg/m², these modules generate 3-6% more power compared to traditional TOPCon modules, offering a highly efficient solution for weight-sensitive environments.

Superior Heat Dissipation: The ultra-thin glass design enhances heat dissipation, lowers operating temperatures and reduces overall weight and making the modules ideal for aging rooftops or structures with limited structural integrity.

Building on the momentum at Solar Pakistan 2026, TCL SOLAR and TAIMOOR TRADING CO. have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), marking a key step in advancing solar energy solutions. This partnership aims to expand clean power access and drive sustainable development across Pakistan and beyond, with a shared focus on innovation and a low-carbon future.

Focusing on innovation, efficiency, and reduced environmental impact, TCL Solar continues to lead the way in solar technology in Pakistan and across the region, providing solutions that meet today’s energy needs while enabling measurable emissions reductions across the energy value chain.

As Pakistan embraces renewable energy, TCL Solar’s cutting-edge technologies will help drive the growth of low-carbon energy in South Asia and the Middle East.
