BROWARD COUNTY, FL – Animal Care and Adoption announced today a $95,000 grant investment from the newly named Petco Love, to support their lifesaving work for animals in Broward County.

Petco Love is a nonprofit organization leading change for pets nationally by harnessing the power of love to make communities and pet families closer, stronger and healthier. Since its founding in 1999 as the Petco Foundation, it has empowered organizations with nearly $300 million invested in adoption and other lifesaving efforts. In addition, the organization has helped find loving homes for more than 6.5 million pets in partnership with Petco and more than 4,000 organizations, like Animal Care, nationwide.

“Today Petco Love announces an investment in Broward County Animal Care and hundreds of other organizations as part of our commitment to create a future in which no pet is unnecessarily euthanized,” said Susanne Kogut, President of Petco Love. “Our local investments are only one component. This month, we will also launch the first of our national tools to empower all animal lovers to drive lifesaving change right alongside us.”

“We are very thankful to Petco Love for its generosity and ongoing support of our efforts," said Emily Wood, Director of Broward County Animal Care. "The grant is an investment in our comprehensive strategy to increase adoptions and help keep pets in their home. Such strong support from Petco Love allows us to achieve these goals much sooner to benefit our shelter pets and local community.”
