Hearts & Bones Rescue Surprised with $10,000 from the Petco Foundation Now Has the Chance to Earn $25,000 More with Public’s Help
Dallas, TX and New York, NY –Hearts & Bones Rescue is excited to have won a $10,000 #HolidayWishes grant from the Petco Foundation to save more dogs in need. Our wonderful adopter Anupam submitted his adoption story about his pup Daisy and was 1 of 50 winners chosen from thousands of entries. Here’s a snippet of their story:
“When Daisy looks at us, she does not see our sexuality, she does not see our brown skin, she does not see how much money we have, she does not see what we look like. She just loves us for who we are. For the first time in our lives, we feel wanted, validated, loved, and celebrated exactly as we are.”
Hearts & Bones is incredibly grateful to Anupam and Jai for sharing how they found love and acceptance for who they are through adopting Daisy; and to the Petco Foundation for honoring Anupam, Jai, and Daisy and supporting our lifesaving work. This grant will help fund our Rescue Ranch in 2021 and enable us to save the lives of so many dogs in need. Hearts & Bones is additionally grateful to all the wonderful Petco store employees who have helped us all keep our pets happy and healthy through a difficult year.
Now through December 16, 2020, you can help Hearts & Bones win an additional $25,000 in the People’s Choice competition. All you have to do is vote for Anupam and Daisy’s story at the link below.
