Brookhaven Animal Rescue League: All-Star Dog Rescue Celebration Grant Report

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

The majority of the money has not been spent. We are building play equipment for our exercise yards. In order to make the most of our dollars, the majority of the play equipment is being built instead of purchased from an expensive company.

We anticipate the play equipment in each of the exercise yards will enhance enrichment for our animals by providing a variety of ways for the dogs to interact with each other and with volunteers.

How many pets did this grant help?

We anticipate it providing enrichment for over 400 dogs just this year.
