Lewis County
Humane Society Receives Two $500.00 Grant Awards from Petfinder Foundation
Lowville, NY – The Lewis County Humane Society, located on the Pine Grove Road in
Glenfield, today announced the receipt of two grant awards for $500.00 each
from Petfinder’s Bar Dog Grant & Emergency Medical Grant programs.
Bar Dog Operation
Grant:
This grant was
offered in partnership with Bar Dog Wine and the Petfinder Foundation. This
grant supports No-Kill animal groups and their day-to-day operations. The
funds LCHS received will be used to purchase necessary supplies, food,
vaccines etc. that are needed to continue caring for all our adoptable pets
in our care.
Emergency Medical
Grant:
The Petfinder
Foundation emergency medical grant program assists Petfinder members in
caring for one pet in need of emergency medical care to become adoptable.
LCHS applied to the Petfinder Foundation for a feline named Denali. Denali
was only 5 weeks old and had upper respiratory infection and was suffering
from intussusception. An intussusception is the telescoping of
one part of the intestinal tract into an adjoining segment of intestinal
tract. It commonly involves the small
intestines. Intussusception can cause narrowing or obstruction of
the lumen (inside diameter) of the intestines, resulting in an
acute emergency.
