Newberg Animal Shelter: Sponsor a Pet Grant Report

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

The pet sponsorship money was used to pay for a surgery to repair the lip of a dog with a facial wound.

This sponsorship helped us to cover costs above basic care and kept a dog from potentially having more severe medical issues or difficulties in the future.

How many pets did this grant help?

We received a sponsorship for one pet. Those funds were used specifically for that pet's needs.

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

A neighbor of our shelter manager’s ailing grandmother (who lives in another state) sponsored a pet whom she was not able to adopt. The sponsored dog, Theo, was in need of facial surgery to repair a torn lip. The surgery was a success, and the dog was adopted two weeks later after his stitches were removed.
