Paws for Life Utah: P.L.A.Y. Pet Beds Grant Report

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

The pet beds were used at the Heber Valley Animal Shelter and in our boarding facility for shelter pets to sleep on.

It helped some of our pets who were recovering from surgery to sleep on a warm bed rather than a cold shelter floor.

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

I’ve attached pictures of two shelter pets who were adopted after their surgeries. The first photo is Jack, who was at Summit County Animal Control. He loves his P.L.A.Y. bed, and slept on it after his dental surgery. The second and third photos are sweet Lulu. She has also been adopted and came to us from a high[-intake] shelter, Baldwin Park Animal Care Center, near Los Angeles. She had major surgery for mammary tumors, a double hernia and a spay. She loved sleeping on her P.L.A.Y. bed while recovering.
