Overview

The KONG Toy Grant, offered by the Petfinder Foundation in collaboration with KONG, aims to enhance the adoptability of shelter pets by providing enriching toys. This initiative supports animal shelters and adopters throughout North America, helping to keep pets mentally stimulated and happy. By focusing on pet enrichment, the grant seeks to increase the chances of successful adoptions, thereby reducing the euthanasia of adoptable animals. Organizations that are Petfinder.com members can apply for these valuable resources.

NOTE: Grant applications are reviewed and awarded on a quarterly basis throughout the year.
Founded in 2003, the Petfinder Foundation has given more than $20 million in cash and product grants to help organizations save the lives of pets in need.
Our grant programs are designed to make homeless pets more adoptable by keeping them happy and healthy, to make shelter operations more sustainable, and to aid adoption groups during times of natural or man-made disaster. Our grant recipients include more than 13,000 organizations, caring for more than 300,000 homeless pets at any given time, throughout the U.S., Canada and Mexico.
The Petfinder Foundation is working with KONG to provide enrichment toys to shelters and adopters across the country. KONG joins the Petfinder Foundation in the belief that, by providing enrichment toys to shelter pets, we stimulate their minds, making them more adoptable.
This grant is a product grant in the form of KONG Toys to Pathfinder members.
