K9 Resque: $3,000
We’ve sent a disaster grant to K9 Resque in Okeechobee, Florida, to help repair damages from Hurricane Irma. “Our outdoor kennel area was heavily damaged,” says Director Sharon O’Brien. “We have partial roof damage; one outdoor kennel is mangled and the rest are under water; our supply shed is under water; all of our crates are currently under water, as are all of our event supplies such as tables, chairs, canopies, and signs; and we lost our horse-food supply, as well as horse equipment and our barn fans.” Grant funds will be used to repair and replaced damaged items and structures at the shelter, which is currently home to 10 dogs, three cats and three horses.
