Analysis
The Rachael Ray Save Them All Grants COVID-19 Relief Program is providing critical support and resources for pets in response to the pandemic. Grand Prairie Animal Services was selected as a recipient of $7,000 to supplement medicals costs from waived-fee adoptions. Eliminating adoption fees allows us to promote positive outcomes for shelter pets while emphasizing the human/animal bond as a means of stress relief for our community.
Financial Consideration
Grand Prairie Animal Services will receive $7,000 towards adoption fees, which cover rabies vaccination, spay/neuter surgery, microchip, and physical examination/testing. There is not a match requirement on this grant.
