The Humane Society of Southern Arizona received a $100,000 grant from Best Friends Animal Society to support lifesaving efforts for stray and in-shelter animals.This comes at a time when the number of dogs and cats at shelters in Tucson has surpassed extreme capacity.The grant will help speed up the process of moving homeless pets through shelters into forever homes and let the HSSA team up with places like Pima Animal Care Center to tackle the high number of homeless animals in Tucson.
HSSA CEO Kristin Barney tells me the coordinator will also rebuild their rescue programming with new partnerships.'It's just working with additional rescue groups who might have time to have maybe more fosters or a quieter space for an animal to rehabilitate,' said Barney. 'So just finding options that are not a shelter for pets.'One partnership includes PACC, which recently had two large intakes of dogs.
