Darlington County Humane Society- Rescue receives grant
The Darlington County Humane Society announced that they are one of 27 animal welfare organizations receiving grant funding to participate in the ASPCA & Subaru Loves Pets Rescue Ride. For the fourth year, thanks to funding from Subaru of America, Inc., the ASPCA (The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals) is granting a total of $150,000 to animal welfare organizations across the country to fund the safe transport of shelter cats and dogs from localities where supply exceeds demand to areas where the animals have a higher chance of adoption.
“The ASPCA & Subaru Loves Pets Rescue Ride grant program allows us to give dogs and cats in our community the best possible chance of finding a home,” said Susan Blakeney, Rescue Volunteer Coordinator. “Working together with rescue partners in several states, we can save many animals and enrich the lives of new adopting families.”
“As part of the Love Promise, we at Subaru are committed to keeping animals safe and healthy through programs such as the ASPCA & Subaru Loves Pets Rescue Ride,” said Bridget Hanrahan, Promotional/Sponsorship Manager, Subaru of America,
Inc. “Alongside the ASPCA, we are proud to help fund transports for shelter cats and dogs and improve their chances of finding a safe and loving home.”
Transport vans loaded up bright and early at the shelter on March 1 with 23 cats/kittens and 41 dogs/puppies on this life-saving transport to new homes.
