PetSmart Charities provided Angels of Assisi with $86,000 to fund their new surgical suite. This funding will pay for the suite’s construction and the purchase of necessary surgical and medical equipment.
“We are proud to support Angels of Assisi to make veterinary care more accessible through the funding of its surgical unit,” said Kelly Balthazor, regional relationship manager at PetSmart Charities. “Overall, the addition of the new facility will reduce financial barriers to preventative and emergency care, keeping more pets with the people who love them.”
Since 1994, through its partnership with nearly 4,000 humane societies, SPCAs and pet rescues across North America, PetSmart Charities has helped more than 9.5 million pets to find loving homes via its in-store adoption program in over 1,650 PetSmart® stores. The leading funder of animal welfare has also donated nearly $400 million to positively impact communities, to connect people and pets, to help preserve families, and to improve access to veterinary care through initiatives like this with Angels of Assisi.
The Angels of Assisi Community Pet Hospital and Adoption Center has a goal of serving 25,000 pet clients annually with veterinary care, and PetSmart Charities is helping to make this possible.
