The Petco Foundation awarded Vance County Animal Services $10,000 in early March.
The Save Pet Lives Grant will be used for just that, lifesaving efforts of pets in Vance County.
Chief of Vance County Animal Services Frankie Nobles said in a press release, “These funds will help save lives of animals at the Vance County Animal Shelter as well as be used for spaying and neutering community pets.”
He indicated the grant money could also be used to pay unforeseen vet expenses for animals at the shelter.
This marks the second time a Petco Grant has been received in Vance County and is among a short list of organizations that have periodically awarded such grants here locally.
Petco recently opened a retail space in Vance County.
