Grant of the Week: Petsmart Charities

Attention Animal Welfare Agencies!

Petsmart Charities, whose mission "is to improve the quality of life for all companion animals through programs that save the lives of homeless pets and promote healthy relationships between people and pets" is now accepting grant applications.

Deadline for application is "determined by the state in which the service is provided". For a list of due dates, visit: http://www.petsmartcharities.org/animal-welfare/grants.php#q4. (Wisconsin, your deadline is May 31, 2008!)

The grants program helps to fund "best practices and innovative programs, with measurable results, that help accomplish [their] mission" with grants "typically" going to "programs that reduce the homeless population of animals through methods other than euthanasia."
