Please provide a story of one or more specific pets this grant helped.

Lucy (first photo) was saved from a high-[intake] shelter when she was heavily pregnant and had only about 24 hours to live. She came to Iowa, delivered nine healthy puppies, and has been adopted by a fellow who had followed her story ever since she was in danger. Since we are in Iowa and he is in Colorado, this fee reduction made it possible for him to conquer the travel required to adopt her.

Cash (second photo) is a loving, smaller Lab mix who has been adopted by a younger couple that loves to walk the country trails around their small town. He too had waited for several weeks to find a happy, forever home.

Tony (third photo) is a bluetick coonhound who had waited almost five months for his forever family. Now, he has a gig as a “truck dog,” riding with his new dad on a local delivery route. Since Dad is also an Army veteran, we waived the remaining $25 fee.
