Chautauqua County Humane Society to be Surprised with Petco Love Stories Grant During Local Celebration on December 17th
Chautauqua County pet adopter’s story earns lifesaving grant award for CCHS
A Jamestown, NY pet adopter’s heartwarming story about how her adopted dog has changed her life has earned the Chautauqua County Humane Society a lifesaving grant award from Petco Love. National nonprofit Petco Love, in partnership with BOBS from Skechers, invited adopters to share how their pet has changed their life to give the organization they adopted from a chance to receive a lifesaving grant in the Petco Love Stories campaign. Sarah Winton’s story was selected as one of 100 national winners from thousands of submissions to help CCHS earn a grant from Petco Love.
In a special celebration to be held at 10am, Friday December 17th at the Petco located at 1960 Edinboro Road, Erie, PA, Petco Love will surprise CCHS with a grant award ranging from $1,000 to $100,000. The adopter , Sarah Winton, will also receive BOBS from Skechers shoes and a Petco shopping spree to spoil their beloved pet. "These powerful Love Stories reflect the importance of pets in our lives. Whether the best or worst of times, the love of pets can change everything,” said Petco Love President, Susanne Kogut. "Reading these touching tales strengthens our resolve to create a world where every shelter pet finds a loving family, and no pet is unnecessarily euthanized. This year, we are proud to award more than $1 million to further empower lifesaving organizations, like the Chautauqua County Humane Society, that work tirelessly to save pet lives." “The funds from this Petco Love grant will be instrumental in helping the Chautauqua County Humane Society to continue our mission to improve and save lives through compassionate care, advocacy for animals, and commitment to the community,” said Kellie Roberts, Executive Director at The Chautauqua County Humane Society.
Sarah Winton adopted her dog Chloe from CCHS in January of 2014 after she was returned to the shelter for behavior reasons. Now Chloe has changed Sarah’s life by being her companion as she battles Multiple Sclerosis.
