Perfectly Paired Pitties: No Fee/Low Fee All Love Adoption Grant Report

How did this grant help your organization and the pets in your care?

This grant helped us to place four of our long-stay dogs into loving, forever homes so far this year, freeing up wonderful fosters and allowing us to bring in four new dogs during that same timeframe. All four pups came with some level of commitment to behavior-medication expenses, at least in the near term, so being able to offset some of these costs through the partially sponsored fee made a big difference for some adopters.

Daisy (the white dog with brown spots and amazing ears and eyes in photos 1 and 2) had been in our care since June 2024. After her foster-to-adopt placement didn’t work out, Daisy started looking for a new forever home in the spring of last year. The sad reality in our area is that even though she was rescued from an urgent euthanasia list, after all this time had passed, she now had to “compete” against the hundreds of new dogs on the same urgent lists she was once on, which is incredibly difficult the longer a dog is in rescue care.

Finally, in December 2025, Daisy was placed in another foster-to-adopt home, ensuring this time was the right fit and she’d be the perfect match for the resident pup. Her then foster was incredibly thoughtful in her approach to introducing and managing this new addition to their home, fully aware that if she decided to commit to Daisy, it also meant taking on the expenses for her current medications.

This grant allowed the foster to apply half of the adoption fee to a few months of medication, in turn giving her time to determine with the vet whether weaning off meds was the right thing to do with a stable environment and schedule for Daisy.

We’re incredibly happy to share that Daisy was adopted into her forever home on March 20, 2026, and are sharing a few pics of her with her new pack. We’re also sharing pics of Koolaid (big boy with the smoothest patchwork coat, photos 3 and 4), Holly (small black and white cutiepie, photos 5 and 6), and Waymo’s (big-headed, big-hearted boy, photo 7) happy gotcha-days; all three also benefitted from this grant and got adopted in the last couple of months.
