Granville County Animal Management has received a $10,000 grant investment from the national nonprofit Petco Love in support of their lifesaving work for animals in Granville County.
Petco Love is a national nonprofit leading change for pets by harnessing the power of love to make communities and pet families closer, stronger, and healthier. Since its founding in 1999, Petco Love has invested $350 million in adoption and other lifesaving efforts. And Petco Love helps find loving homes for pets in partnership with Petco and more than 4,000 organizations across North America — like the Granville County Animal Shelter — with 6.7 million pets adopted and counting.
“Our investment in Granville County Animal Management is part of more than $15M in investments recently announced by Petco Love to power local organizations across the country as part of our commitment to create a future in which no pet is unnecessarily euthanized,” said Susanne Kogut, president of Petco Love. “Our local investments are only part of our strategy to empower animal lovers to drive lifesaving change right alongside us. We recently launched Petco Love Lost, a national lost and found database that uses pet image technology to simplify the search for lost pets.”
“We are so thankful for the continuing support provided by Petco Love to help the Granville County Animal Shelter in its mission to protect the animals of our community,” said Commissioner Sue Hinman, who also serves on the Animal Control Advisory Committee. “Our staff will utilize this generous grant to enhance our spay/neuter program, provide heartworm treatment to dogs, and pay for emergency veterinary care. This is such an awesome gift from Petco Love and we hope they know how grateful our community is to be included in this grant award.”
The Granville County Animal Shelter operates Tuesday through Saturday, from 12:00 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. for all services. For more information, call 919-693-6749 or visit their website.
