VAO awarded grant from Petco Foundation

The Petco Foundation investment will help fund critical items to ensure proper care of animals in the VAO’s care

The Voorhees Animal Orphanage of Voorhees announced it has been awarded a $20,000 grant from the Petco Foundation to help the VAO support its mission of providing care to cats and dogs until they can be placed into loving homes.

The Petco Foundation investment will help fund critical items to ensure proper care of animals in the VAO’s care, including medical expenses, spay/neuter surgeries, vaccinations and cleaning materials. This will help prepare animals for adoption and help them find forever homes.

“As a nonprofit animal shelter, we rely heavily upon the generosity of our donors,” said David Semless, President of VAO’s Board of Directors. “We are so grateful for the Petco Foundation’s investment which will help us save more animal lives.”

Voorhees Animal Orphanage is a nonprofit community animal shelter and adoption center dedicated to providing compassionate care to homeless cats and dogs until a permanent and loving home can be secured. Since its inception in 1988, the VAO has saved the lives of over 30,000 homeless cats and dogs, including over 1,800 in 2018.
