The Good Shepherd Humane Society is set to receive a $5,000 grant investment from national nonprofit Petco Love in support of its lifesaving work for animals in Carroll 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. Petco Love helps find loving homes for pets in partnership with Petco and more than 4,000 organizations — like Good Shepherd — across North America, with 6.7 million pets adopted and counting.
“Our investment in Good Shepherd Humane Society is part of more than $15 million 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 thrilled that Petco Love has chosen to continue its support of Good Shepherd’s mission. This grant provides vital support to our lifesaving work,” said Cole Wakefield, executive director of Good Shepherd.
