Marion Animal Resource Connection: COVID-19 Operation Grant Report

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

We bought five new crates and five pens for foster homes to help take in the extra animals who needed help. We also bought four new litter boxes and some cat food and cat litter.

We were able to take more animals in by making sure we made fostering more manageable for people.

How many pets did this grant help?

We took in 404 animals in the months of May-July.

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

Bear and Cali are two shih tzus who were living by the river in a tent when their owner couldn’t pay the bills. We had to find a place for them quickly. It was nice to have the crates and food on-hand to help people foster animals in need.
