City of Wasco awarded $3,500 from Hill’s Pet Nutrition and the Association for Animal Welfare Advancement

 

Wasco, CA, September 8, 2020 – The Wasco Animal Shelter has been awarded a $3,500 Hill’s Disaster Relief Grant to help purchase pet food and supplies for the shelter animals at the Wasco animal shelter.  Since mid-march, the shelter has been forced to pay at least 30% more for food and supplies because local stores would run out of supplies due to COVID-19 shortages.  This grant will be used to help the shelter stock up on needed food and feeding supplies.
