Technology Grant Helps Two Shelters
The Petfinder.com Foundation recently provided a digital camera and two memory cards as part of a technology grant to two shelters. Why? Digital cameras allow shelters to keep photos of their adorable, adoptable animals updated on Petfinder.com. SpokAnimal Care and Meadow Gates Farm Sanctuary were in need of a digital camera, an important part of advertising homeless pets.
Gail Mackie, Executive Director of SpokAnimal Care explains:
“Thanks so much for granting us a digital camera. During our construction phase, while the siding was being replaced, the bars were taken off windows in our new clinic building. We then had 3 break-ins within a 13-day period, losing computers, camera, digital picture frames and many other items. Insurance didn’t cover our losses. This camera will allow us to put pictures of incoming animals on their cage cards as well as enhance our ability to post on PetFinder.com. I can’t thank you enough. You have truly made a difference for our organization.”
