Pasco County Animal Services Awarded $50K from Maddie’s Fund
Pasco County Animal Services (PCAS) is pleased to announce we’re the grateful recipient of a $50,000 grant to help keep people and pets together! The generous grant comes from Maddie’s Fund®, a national family foundation established by Dave and Cheryl Duffield to revolutionize the status and well-being of companion animals.
Pasco County received this award due to our innovative community-focused programs. These funds will help our community keep their pets and the people who love them together.
“We are thankful to Maddie’s Fund for helping us continue our lifesaving mission and support the human-animal bond,” said PCAS Director Mike Shumate. “This grant will help pet owners who would otherwise be forced to give up their furry friends.”
Animal Services will use the generous donation to help pet owners with a variety of services, including:
- Pet supplies and food
- Medical care
- Short-term boarding
This grant will go beyond the organization’s long-time mission of achieving a 90% save rate, to ensure Pasco pets stay with their owners.
Friends of Animal Services will give out the grant money to support PCAS’ work as a Tier 1 shelter with Human Animal Support Services, a national coalition led by American Pets Alive! Learn more about PCAS achieving ‘Top Tier’ status here: bit.ly/2P7qzqw.
