The Animal League announced today a $3,500 grant investment from the newly named Petco Love to support their lifesaving work for animals in Central Florida and beyond.
Petco Love is a nonprofit 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’ve empowered organizations with $300 million invested to date in adoption and other lifesaving efforts. And they’ve helped find loving homes for more than 6.5 million pets in partnership with Petco and more than 4,000 organizations, like ours, nationwide.
“Petco Love announces an investment in The Animal League 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. In April, we also launched the first of our national tools, Petco Love Lost, to empower all animal lovers to drive lifesaving change right alongside us.”
“This $3,500 investment will help us fund important new software for our rescue,” said Doreen Barker, Executive Director of The Animal League. “The software will enable to us to be even more efficient so that we can continue to save lives. We value our partnership with Petco Love and with our local Petco store.”
The Animal League was established in 1988 to help abused, abandoned, and neglected animals, and ever since we’ve been advocating for animals through everything we do. The Animal League places approximately 1,000 pets in loving homes each year.
