Animal Rescue Force, Inc.: Kia Pet Adoption Grant Report

How did this grant help your organization and the pets in your care?

With the grant received, Animal Rescue Force reduced adoption fees on 10 cats ($50 each) and five dogs ($100 each) to help their adopters save funds to start off with supplies and food for their new pet. Adopters were thrilled to learn they were awarded this opportunity and went right to the store to buy their needed items. We are more than grateful to the Petfinder Foundation for this grant.
