The Humane Society and Animal Rescue of Muskegon County: KONG Toys Grant Report

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

This grant provided us with five Kong toys.

We fill our Kongs with peanut butter and put them in the freezer before giving them to our dogs. We find it gives the dogs physical and mental enrichment for a few hours while they get the peanut butter out. They absolutely love Kong toys and enjoy the distraction from the busy shelter atmosphere.

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

Kaid was with us for over one year. He was a large, deaf pit bull who loved to play and give kisses. He carried his Kong toy everywhere with him! We taught him sign language and were happy to be able to reward him with a Kong after a day of training. He finally found his home and now gets to enjoy Kong treats in his OWN house!
