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

Gypsy (first photo), a 2-year-old Catahoula, came to our shelter with significant anxiety. Once we introduced her to a Kong toy filled with treats, her anxiety lessened noticeably. The mental stimulation and engagement from the Kong toy helped her relax, making it easier for us to care for her and ultimately find her a loving forever home.

You can meet Gypsy here.
