THE WOODLANDS, TEXAS (August 15,2023) – Operation Pets Alive is set to receive a $20,000 grant investment from national nonprofit Petco Love in support of their lifesaving work for animals in Montgomery County, Texas.
Petco Love is a national nonprofit leading change for pets by harnessing the power of love to make communities and pet families closer, stronger, and healthier. Since its founding in 1999, Petco Love has invested $350 million in adoption and other lifesaving efforts. And Petco Love helps find loving homes for pets in partnership with Petco and more than 4,000 organizations — like ours — across North America, with 6.7 million pets adopted and counting.
“Our investment in Operation Pets Alive is part of more than $15M in investments recently announced by Petco Love to power local organizations across the country 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 part of our strategy to empower animal lovers to drive lifesaving change right alongside us. We recently launched Petco Love Lost, a national lost and found database that uses pet image technology to simplify the search for lost pets.”
“Petco Love’s investment allows Operation Pets Alive to further our mission of reducing the number of animals entering shelters and increasing the number who leave alive. With Petco Love’s support we are able to provide medical care, spay/neuter assistance and find forever homes for dogs and cats.” Amy Buckley, President of Operation Pets Alive.
Operation Pets Alive is an all-volunteer nonprofit organization striving to elevate Montgomery County to a No-Kill community through innovative programs. Since 2011, Operation Pets Alive has saved and changed thousands of lives in their community through our transport, adoption and TNR programs. Countless lives have been spared being unwanted through their community TNR and spay/neuter programs. In the past three years, Operation Pets Alive has serviced more than 7,000 homeless dogs and cats.
