She said PEDIGREE recognized a gap in resources for shelters around the continent and targeted the grants appropriately. “It’s their first time ever offering this grant in Canada so we’re pretty thrilled to be in the first round,” she said. Janine Rossler, Executive Director of CAHS, said besides the obvious financial benefit of being awarded the grant, it also represents a sense of validation of the society’s work. The Cochrane society will receive $10,000, which is earmarked for behaviour modification programs and training for dogs with challenging behaviours. They looked at programs and services offered, how the facility was operated, and conducted an audit. Representatives from the Nashville, Tennessee-based foundation came and looked at the Cochrane facility recently. This grant will allow CAHS to develop programs to help increase dog adoption. The PEDIGREE Foundation is an independent, non-profit organization established by Mars Petcare with an ambition to help end pet homelessness. There are more than 80,000 animals in need of support across Canada. The PEDIGREE Foundation has announced it’s expanding into Canada to launch its first-ever Canadian Grant Program to provide $100,000 in support to eight animal shelters, including the Cochrane & Area Humane Society (CAHS).Ĭanadian animal shelters are facing a crisis with a rise in surrenders and many facing capacity constraints.
