Williamson County Regional Animal Shelter: Play Group Training Grant Report

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

This grant funded one volunteer to attend the Dogs Playing for Life Mentorship program at Austin Pets Alive!

Since training an additional person to help lead our playgroups, we are able to run more playgroup sessions than before. This means that more dogs get to participate and each dog participates more times per week than before.

How many pets did this grant help?

100+

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

Bosco was a long-term resident at our shelter. This beautiful dog was a total love bug; he just didn’t show well. He was a black, squared-headed boy with scars all over his body — not the first choice for someone. In playgroups, however, he was the star of the show. He loved to run and play with his doggy friends, and his goofy, affectionate, and playful personality was bigger than any of his scars. Bosco is adopted now and we hope having the time of his life!
