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

Ralph has been a longer-term resident and we were told he was “unwalkable and could not be around other dogs.” Our field-trip program has helped Ralph get out of our facility and into the real world. There we have found he is much more walkable and friendly than we were led to believe. Ralph is still looking for a home, but he has a much better chance of being placed now! You can meet Ralph here.
