Nebraska Humane Society: Sponsor a Pet Grant Report

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

We used the $22.50 to for almost two days of care for one of our adoptable dogs! That includes "incoming" vaccinations such as kennel cough and a combo distemper/parvo inoculation, as well as food, a clean, heated kennel and cozy place to relax.

Every time we get in money from the Petfinder Foundation's Sponsor a Pet program, it's money that we don't have to solicit, so we are able to expend our resources more effectively. We house many pets, so a day or two of care goes a long way when we get multiple grants and donations!

One super sweet guy named Mitch

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

“I adopted Mitch a couple weeks ago and he is perfect. We are best friends and inseparable. He loves going to work at the farm with me and loves going on long walks on the trails without his leash. Chasing pheasants makes 10-year-old Mitch feel like a puppy again. He is on some supplements for his arthritis and allergies, which are helping so much and making him so much more comfortable. Thank you for getting us together; everyone keeps telling me that Mitch is so lucky that he won the doggy lottery, but I’m the lucky one. He’s my best friend and he’s so excited that we finally found some daily treats that he loves. I loved the adoption facility — it was so clean and the staff were so friendly and helpful. Just wanted to say that Mitch is doing great and thank you for everything you guys do!” –Regan Casserly
