Petco Love: The Pima County Board of Supervisors, at its Feb. 21 meeting, voted to accept a $100,000 grant from national nonprofit Petco Love in support of the life-saving work for animals in Pima County.
Pima Animal Care Center plans to use the investment from Petco Love to fund community outreach with the goal of increasing awareness of the shelter’s lifesaving work and programs, particularly in Spanish-speaking areas of Pima County. Shelter leadership hopes that increasing marketing in these areas will help people learn more about how PACC can help keep families together with their pets.
Petco Love is a national nonprofit leading change for pets to make communities and pet families closer, stronger and healthier. Since its founding in 1999, Petco Love has invested $330 million in adoption and other lifesaving efforts.
