The Weatherford Animal Shelter has received a $50,000 grant from Petco Love to increase pet ownership and reduce stray animals in Parker County

The funding will support billboard campaigns to promote adoptions, provide collars, leashes and QR code tags with every adoption, and fund vaccination and spay/neuter clinics. Microchip scanners will also be installed at the police station and fire stations to allow after-hours scanning of found pets.

This grant will help keep pets safe, healthy and in their homes.
