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

Ringa was somewhat destructive when she arrived at her foster’s home.

Within a week of getting two different KONGs to play with, she settled down with them and her Nylabone. She guarded them like they were her babies, but still wanted her foster to throw them so she could chase and retrieve them.

The KONGs really made a difference in her life.
