The Everett Animal Shelter has been awarded a $50,000 grant from Petco Love, a national nonprofit dedicated to transforming the lives of pets and communities. This generous funding is aimed at enhancing the shelter's capacity to provide care for lost and at-risk animals in Snohomish County. Petco Love, which has invested nearly $400 million in animal welfare since its founding in 1999, partners with over 4,000 organizations to facilitate the adoption of more than 6. 8 million pets. Susanne Kogut, the president of Petco Love, highlighted the importance of local investments in achieving a future free from unnecessary euthanization of pets.

The grant will enable the Everett Animal Shelter to expand its services, which include adoption and community resources for pet owners. As an open-admission shelter, EAS is committed to reuniting lost pets with their families and providing a safe haven for those in need. The shelter manager, Glynis Frederiksen, expressed gratitude for this support, emphasizing its impact on the local community.
