Petco Foundation to match all donations up to $5,000 to the SPCA of Winchester, Frederick, and Clarke Counties through June 30

Through June 30, all donations to the SPCA of Winchester, Frederick, and Clarke Counties will be matched up to $5,000 by the Petco Foundation to help save twice as many pet lives.

“There was a time when I didn’t know if we’d make it through this unprecedented crisis but with the support of the community and funding from the Petco Foundation, we may be able to help even more animals this year,” said Lavenda Denney, Executive Director at the SPCA of Winchester, Frederick, and Clarke Counties.

The Petco Foundation matching grant will help the SPCA of Winchester, Frederick, and Clarke Counties maintain its lifesaving work during these challenging times.

This grant is part of the Petco Foundation’s Pledge to Save Pet Lives during this COVID-19 crisis by distributing $1M in product and cash donations and putting out a national call to implore animal lovers to take action to help save animal lives. This commitment follows the Petco Foundation’s recent distribution of more than $13M to animal welfare ­organizations nationwide.

“Animal welfare organizations are facing the business impacts of COVID-19, just like many other businesses during this crisis. But when your business is saving animal lives, the consequences of a business failure are devastating,” said Petco Foundation President, Susanne Kogut. “At the Petco Foundation, we will support our partner’s most critical needs during this time and help mobilize the public to take action to help save animal lives. We hope this matching grant support will help the SPCA of Winchester, Frederick, and Clarke Counties do just that.”

The Petco Foundation is committed to supporting their animal welfare partners’ most critical needs as they face the dual responsibilities of protecting human health and saving animal lives through the COVID-19 crisis to ensure that every pets gets the chance to live their best life.
