Please provide a story of one or more specific pets this grant helped.

Little Red is a young, active dog. The Kong toys provide him much-needed mental stimulation when he is in his kennel. They allow him to focus on getting the peanut butter out of the Kong, which occupies him vs. him just lying in the kennel or barking, etc., because he is bored.
