Rutland County Humane Society (RCHS) is set to receive a $7,500 grant investment from national nonprofit Petco Love in support of their lifesaving work for animals in Rutland County, according to a June 26 news release.
Petco Love is 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 nearly $400 million in adoption and other lifesaving efforts. And Petco Love helps find loving homes for pets in partnership with Petco and more than 4,000 organizations — like RCHS — across North America, with 6.8 million pets adopted and counting.
“Our investment in the Rutland County 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 launched Petco Love Lost, a national lost and found database that uses patented image-recognition technology to simplify the search for lost pets.”
“RCHS is so appreciative of the continued partnership with Petco Love to provide funds for our programs for the pets and people in Rutland County. Their continued generosity has enabled us to provide medical care, comfort, and love for pets in our care,” said Beth Saradarian, executive director of the Rutland County Humane Society.
The Rutland County Humane Society is a nonprofit organization dedicated to and advocating for and working towards a responsible and humane community. RCHS sheltes and provides compassionate care while finding loving homes for at-risk and companion pets serving Rutland County. Since 1959, RCHS estimates it has cared for or assisted over 125,000 animals including dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, birds, and in the early years skunks, loons, fawns, goats, and horses.
