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

Popcorn (first photo) had a rough start in life! When this gorgeous youngster was not even a month old, she was found by a good Samaritan after she’d been attacked by a dog. She unfortunately needed an eye enucleation as a result, but Popcorn has bounced back as a resilient and wonderfully rambunctious kitten!

Her foster home took great strides to ensure she was cared for medically and socially. With the help of this grant, we have been able to provide the care that she needed and she has found her forever home.

Zekey (second photo) was brought to us when his owner got in over his head caring for a litter of puppies. Zekey and a few of his siblings came to us at about 12 weeks old. With the help of this grant, we were able to vaccinate, microchip, and neuter him, and provide all the care and support he needed to find his forever home.
