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

There was a stray dog who was found on the side of the road. The dog was so filthy there was no way the animal shelter’s veterinarian could make an assessment of the dog’s health needs. Once cleaned, the dog was evaluated by the veterinarian. Afterwards, the dog (Cotton) was eligible for adoption. The grant helped in assuring Cotton found a new home!
