Humane Society of Union County: COVID-19 Operation Grant Report

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

Grant funds were used to purchase food, vaccines and medical care for our rescues.

Our local county animal shelter has been closed for months now and HSUC is receiving more and more of our community’s unwanted pets. To combat the issue, we have worked diligently to find more people willing to become foster families. As part of our foster program, HSUC provides all of the medical care, food and supplies for our rescues. With the grant funds from your wonderful Foundation, we were able to accept even more rescues who needed medical care, food, shelter and most of all, love.

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

Due to financial hardship, a family surrendered Snow White, a 2-year-old boxer mix, and her seven puppies. Snow White was completely emaciated after giving everything she had to her puppies when her humans were not able to buy her food.

After some time spent in a loving HSUC foster home, some good food and feeding her several times a day, Snow White bounced back and went back to her normal weight.

Snow White received medical care and a spay and now has a wonderful forever home to call her own, where she’ll never have to worry about where her next meal will come from again! YES!
