The WHC Foundation donates to Pets of the Homeless

The WHC Foundation, a private foundation, of Reno, awarded $11,916 to Feeding Pets of the Homeless. The grant was a matching challenge. With support from Northern Nevada communities the deadline was met ahead of time. To date The WHC Foundation has given $45,000 to be used to purchase pet food when necessary, provide emergency veterinary care and wellness clinics to pets that are owned by the homeless, and to purchase animal crates for homeless shelters in Northern Nevada.
