POOCH Receives Grants

POOCH DIRECTOR Joan Dalton and veterinarian Dr. Sal Jepson attended a reception hosted by Banfield Charities on May 25 to honor Banfield's grant recipients.

In 2005, the Banfield Charitable Trust gave Project POOCH a $15,000 grant to develop canine health education for the youth.

The funds enabled Dr. Jepson to design a series of self-paced, computer-guided training modules on canine healthcare topics and career opportunities in petcare.

This year POOCH received an additional grant of $5,000 from the Juan Young Trust to continue development of the computer training modules.

In May, we received a $1,500 grant for general support from the Jeffrey V. and Anne P. Hill Family Fund, The Oregon Community Foundation.

Most recently, POOCH was awarded an operational grant of $15,000 a year for three years by the Karen M. Schroth Charitable Foundation for Animals.
