HUNTINGTON â With aid from a grant, a local animal shelter is able to support pets with an on-site medical director.
The Huntington Cabell Wayne Animal Control Shelter was recently awarded a $50,000 grant investment from Petco Love, formerly known as the Petco Foundation.
Courtney Proctor Cross, the shelterâs executive director, said the money would support a medical director at the shelter as well as other lifesaving measures. Cross said the shelter has received other grants in the past from Petco Love, as the shelter is a partner with the organization.
âThe big thing for us was that it made such a huge difference when we were able to hire a vet tech to be our medical director,â Cross said. The addition allowed someone to be over the shelterâs intake process and see to the general welfare and care for each animal.
