SPRINGFIELD — Dakin Humane Society of Springfield has received a $10,000 grant from national nonprofit Petco Love in support of its lifesaving work for pets.
Petco Love is a national nonprofit leading change for pets by making communities and pet families closer, stronger and healthier. Since its founding in 1999, Petco Love has invested nearly $410 million in adoption and other lifesaving efforts. Petco Love also helps find homes for pets in partnership with Petco and more than 4,000 organizations, like Dakin, across North America, with nearly 7 million pets adopted and counting.
“Our investment in Dakin Humane Society is part of more than $12 million in investments recently announced by Petco Love to power local organizations across the country as part of our commitment to create a future in which no pet is unnecessarily euthanized,” Susanne Kogut, president of Petco Love, said in a statement. “Our local investments are only part of our strategy to empower animal lovers to drive lifesaving change right alongside us.”
“We are deeply grateful for the generous support of Petco Love,” Meg Talbert, executive director of Dakin Humane Society, said in a statement. “This lifesaving investment will enable us to provide critical care — such as food and medical support — to the pets in our adoption center, including pets who have come to us from local homes, as well as transfers from other parts of the country that are experiencing overcrowding. Petco Love’s partnership is instrumental in helping us remain a trusted resource for pet families in need.”
