Each year Nuzzles & Co., the Summit County-based no-kill animal rescue nonprofit, spends $1.5 million on its rescue, medical and adoptions programs. So Executive Director Lindsay Ortega was grateful to hear from Magnolia Pictures, which proposed an online film-screening fundraiser featuring Elizabeth Lo’s documentary “Stray.”
The film will be available at 7 p.m. on Friday, March 5. Tickets are $20 and can be purchased by visiting Nuzzlesandco.com. Proceeds will be divided in half, with 50% going to Nuzzles & Co.’s life-saving efforts, according to Ortega.
Last year Nuzzles & Co. rescued 1,759 at-risk and stray cats and dogs, and through its rehabilitation programs 1,700 of those animals were placed in caring homes or other rescue organizations, while 59 remained in Nuzzles’ care, she said.
