A Grant of $15,000 will help save more pet lives in Forsyth County, GA, and surrounding areas
Cumming, Georgia May 16, 2021 (Issuewire.com) - The Humane Society of Forsyth County announced today a $15,000 grant investment from the newly named Petco Love to support their lifesaving work for animals. Petco Love is a non-profit leading change for pets nationally by harnessing the power of love to make communities and pet families closer, stronger, and healthier. Since their founding in 1999 as the Petco Foundation, they have empowered organizations with $300 million invested to date in adoption and other lifesaving efforts. And they have helped find loving homes for more than 6.5 million pets in partnership with Petco and more than 4,000 organizations, like ours, nationwide.
"Today, Petco Love announces an investment in The Humane Society of Forsyth County and hundreds of other organizations as part of our commitment to creating a future in which no pet is unnecessarily euthanized," said Susanne Kogut, President of Petco Love. "Our local investments are only one component. This month, we will also launch the first of our national tools to empower all animal lovers to drive lifesaving change right alongside us."
"With Petco Love's grant investment, we're able to offer and provide low-cost, quality services to individual clients as well as other rescues; we are beyond grateful for the continued support of Petco Love," said Debbie Bertsch, Executive Director of The Humane Society of Forsyth County.
The Humane Society of Forsyth County is a non-profit organization and a limited admission, adoption guarantee facility dedicated to placing every cat and dog in our care into a loving home, in addition to promoting responsible pet ownership and spay/neuter programs.
