Cleo's Legacy, Inc.: Play Pet Beds Grant Report
How did this grant help your organization and the pets in your care?
The dog beds you provided have made a significant difference in the lives of the animals in our care. For many of these dogs, it was their first experience with a comfortable bed and the gentle touch of a soft hand. Your generosity has brought joy and comfort to dogs who may have never known such luxuries before.
Unfortunately, we still have some dogs waiting for foster homes, others who require medical bed rest, and a few who have been patiently waiting for their forever homes for over two years. For these dogs, a nice bed is more than just a luxury – it's a symbol of hope and a reminder that they are loved and cared for.
We are deeply grateful for your kindness and generosity. Your donation has made a tangible difference in the lives of these deserving animals, and we are honored to have your support.

Please provide a story of one or more specific pets this grant helped.
The dog beds provided have made a significant impact on the lives of animals in our care, particularly Pig the Pittie, a heartworm-positive dog who was rescued from a life-threatening situation.
Pig’s story is a testament to the importance of our organization’s mission. He was brought into our care after narrowly avoiding a painful heartstick death and, upon his arrival, we discovered that he was heartworm-positive. The treatment for this condition requires strict bed rest, which can be a challenging and uncomfortable experience for the dog.
Thanks to the generous donation of dog beds, Pig has been able to receive the comfort and support he needs during this critical period. Having the beds has allowed us to rotate them regularly, ensuring that Pig’s comfort and well-being are prioritized throughout his treatment.
As Pig nears the end of his treatment, we are thrilled to see him making progress and looking forward to the day when he can be a happy, healthy dog. His journey to find a forever home continues, and we are grateful for the support of our donors and partners who have made this possible.
The impact of these dog beds extends beyond Pig’s individual experience, as they have also enabled us to provide comfort and care to other animals in our care who may be facing similar challenges. We are grateful for the generosity of P.L.A.Y. and the Petfinder Foundation and look forward to continuing our work to improve the lives of animals in need.
