In September of 2015, C.A.R.E. launched its Senior Animal Wellness Program with a $3k grant from the Arizona Community Foundation. The grant was intended to help senior dogs and cats over the age of seven. Senior pets are at most risk for euthanasia due to age, age-related illnesses and/or lack of owner information and are usually the last to be adopted if at all. The grant was used to fund comprehensive medical exams for senior pets in order to provide valuable information and an incentive to adopters considering a senior dog for adoption. In June of 2017, CARE Medical Fund was awarded a $5.5k grant from The Grey Muzzle Organization. We were able to help 10 additional pets because of this life-saving grant. It is our hope that we will be able to save additional lives into 2020 and beyond and educate the public about senior adoption.
ALL THESE SENIOR PETS FOUND HOMES BECAUSE OF OUR PROGRAM!
