REASON is an approved partner with No More Homeless Pets® Network of animal welfare and sheltering organizations. The network is committed to saving the lives of homeless pets through effective adoption and spay-neuter programs.
The Grace Episcopal Church Foundation, Morganton, granted REASON $3,750 in November 2023 to be used for providing low-cost spay/neuter surgical fee assistance for those pet owners who may not be able to afford it.
Petco Love has awarded REASON grants in the past that were used to help support low-income clients in need. In November 2023, they also awarded REASON a $1,000 grant.
In December 2023, Two Mauds, Inc. granted REASON with $7,000 to be used for providing low-cost spay/neuter surgical fee assistance for those pet owners in Burke County who may not be able to afford it.
Two Mauds offers grants in or near the general Appalachian region. They support mostly volunteer-run 501c3 organizations with annual budgets of $100,000 or less. This is the 2nd grant that REASON has received from Two Mauds.
Are you thinking of giving up your pet? Do you need to find your pet another home? Please know there are a number of homeless animals currently at our local shelter and rescues. Try other options before giving up on your companion pet. Spaying and neutering may help eliminate problem behaviors.
If you are thinking about adding a companion animal to your home, please check out these links to view available dogs/cats looking for a forever home: Burke County Animal Services (see also their Facebook page) and PetFinder.
Animals from a rescue are already spayed or neutered so you won’t have to worry about that expense. And they are usually available for a low-cost adoption fee.
