The organization will receive $25,000 to bolster its programs, giving its dedicated animal care staff, volunteers, and adoption coordinators a major morale boost, as they continue to provide vital services to animals and their families in the Tri-State.

The granting of $25,000 by Petco Love is a landmark victory for animal lovers in the region and a vote of confidence in the Vanderburgh Humane Society’s unwavering commitment to animal welfare. With this generous investment, the organization is poised to tackle an array of pressing challenges, including a decline in adoption rates for large-breed dogs and rising costs for shelter operations.

• Petco Love is a well-respected organization with a profound impact on animal welfare, having invested over $421 million in initiatives to improve pet care, health, and adoption rates.
• With a strong network of over 4,000 partner organizations, including the Vanderburgh Humane Society, they have facilitated more than 7 million adoptions.
• As a nonprofit, Petco Love has a clear mission: to transform pet welfare through innovative ideas and substantial resources.

To better understand the significance of this funding, let’s consider the impact of a national decline in adoption rates for large-breed dogs. The VHS has reported a significant decrease in such adoptions, translating to reduced revenue from adoption fees and amplified costs for their shelter operations.
