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

This grant specifically helped with two litters of shepherd-mix puppies. We were able to purchase puppy food for this litter. Our donors do not normally think about bringing in puppy food. We most often get donations of adult dog food. This grant helped ensure that we could provide good-quality nutrition for our puppies. It also helped ensure that we were able to maintain our high quality of sanitation standards, with the ability to purchase Rescue disinfectant. This purchase was beneficial to all of the animals in our care.
