Disaster Relief and/or Emergency Care for Puppy Mill Seizures

This grant program is for nonprofit animal welfare organizations whose communities suffer the impact of natural or other disasters as declared by a State or FEMA, or for non-profit shelters who are supporting the care of dogs from a national organization (ex ASPCA, HSUS, etc) or a local animal control agency leading a puppy mill seizure. You may request up to $5,000 in funding.

Grants will also be considered for organizations that have not been directly impacted by a disaster but are helping another organization in need such as the rescue and/or intake of animals and for puppy mill seizures.
