Project Precious Paws/Montgomery City Animal Shelter: Grant Report

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

We bought agility equipment including weave poles, a tire jump, a tunnel, a see-saw base and other supplies.

We are able to use the equipment to enrich the daily lives of the dogs in our care as well as using it in teaching basic obedience commands. Any training makes them more adoptable.

How many pets did this grant help?

So far we have used it with the three dogs we have had in our care since we set up the equipment.

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

Maddie came to us as a puppy. She was returned after her first adoption and was out of control and full of energy. We started working with her on the agility equipment and on obedience commands and she was able to use up a lot of her energy and be able to focus on training. She was doing well and had the “sit” command down and was adopted in a week. The photos are of her on her first day of training.
