“By providing a $19,004 grant for spay/neuter, the Clark County Dog Shelter can reduce their costs, reduce adoption fees, and hopefully increase the number of dogs that are adopted,” the statement said.
The foundation said they were able to award the grant, which is larger than last year, because of the “generosity of one of our donor-advised fund representative, who matched the funding we had available from our Animal Welfare field of interest funds.”
In a statement on their Facebook page, the dog shelter thanked the foundation for the grant.
“Thanks to grant funding from the Springfield Foundation, more dogs will be spayed and neutered than ever! We are so grateful for the support of this wonderful organization,” the post said.
Meanwhile, Clark County dog tags are on sale through Jan. 31.
