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

Meeka, 9-month-old pointer mix, loved playing with the treat-filled Kong toys. She was displaying high anxiety and only liked tennis balls until we gave her Kong toys. After we gave them to her, she was able to keep busy and not show so much anxiety from being in the shelter. Miss Meeka has since been adopted and has learned to love other toys, but she still loves her Kong!
