November’s Grant: Muttville Senior Dog Rescue
November isn’t just the season of thanks and giving, it also happens to be Adopt a Senior Pet Month!
And in honor of that, we are very pleased to announce our first Heart to Paw $20,000 grant recipient – Muttville Senior Dog Rescue.
Muttville, based in San Francisco, CA (HQ city of Big Heart Pet Brands, too!) is dedicated to changing the way the world thinks about and treats dogs aged seven years and older, and aims to create better lives for them through rescue, foster, adoption, and hospice.
“We are incredibly thrilled and honored to receive this grant from Big Heart Pet Brands,” said Sherri Franklin, Muttville’s Executive Director. “This money will give Muttville the ability to purchase some medical equipment that we otherwise would not be able to purchase. It is a great gift and we are so very thankful! We will be able to quickly assess some of our most critical medical cases, ultimately allowing us the opportunity to save more lives. We are so thankful to be nominated by Big Heart Pet employees! Some of our best volunteers are Big Heart Pet employees and we love them!”
This Heart to Paw grant will enable Muttville to purchase an ultrasound machine, a critical tool for their growing medical suite that will help them save more than $50,000 a year in medical expenses. …
