We are thrilled to share that Pets4Life Louisville has been chosen as one of only 11 recipients of the impactful Petsmart Incubator Grant, recognizing our vital work in the Louisville community to help pets. This grant aims to improve access to veterinary care in underserved communities, and we are excited about the positive impact it will bring to our local area.
Pets4Life Louisville attends Petsmart Charities Session in Phoenix
As part of the grant process, our team members, Karen and Kristin, recently traveled to Phoenix for an intensive training session with Petsmart Charities and The Institute for Human-Animal Connection. This experience was invaluable, equipping us with the knowledge and resources needed to make a real difference in our community.
With the support of this grant, Pets4Life Louisville will focus its efforts on the 40210 zip code, which includes the Park Hill, California, and Algonquin neighborhoods. Our primary goals for 2024 are to build strong relationships within the community and conduct thorough research to better understand and support local pet owners.
We are in the process of establishing a ‘Petcare Hub’ to provide comprehensive support for all pet families, along with a ‘Petcare Hub Resource Center’ where residents can access pet supplies, food, and attend workshops and events. These initiatives will not only enhance pet retention but also ensure fewer pets end up homeless which will benefit the entire community.
Our regular program of vaccine and wellness clinics will continue as we expand our services to better serve the 40210 community. We are committed to making sustainable veterinary care accessible to all pet families and are grateful for the ongoing support from our community.
This grant will allow us to make a significant impact on the entire community’s pet population. By focusing on pet retention in one area of the city, we ultimately contribute to the well-being of all pets in the community. Our efforts reduce strays and owner surrenders, leading to fewer pets entering the local shelter and ultimately fewer homeless pets. Stay tuned for more updates on our progress and how you can get involved in this exciting journey!
Thank you, The Pets4Life Louisville Team
