The Fayette County Humane Society has announced that it has received, from the Build-A-Bear Workshop, a grant in the amount of $1,500 to go toward their spay/neuter program for pets of low income families in this area.

The Build-A-Bear Workshop Bear Hugs Foundation is committed to making life more bearable for children, families and pets, in need of a helping paw. With the sale of each full-sized Bearemy’s Kennel Pals friend—a collection of Build-A-Bear workshop plush dogs—one dollar is donated to domestic pet programs including local animal shelters, stray pet rescue and rehabilitation organizations, and pet education programs around the country. These funds are available to qualified non-profit organizations in the United States and Canada through a quarterly grant process. Visit www.buildabear.com for more information.

The $1,500 grant received by Fayette County Humane Society will be used for their continued spay/neuter program for low income families in the area that qualify under the application process. This program was started two years ago and it has continued to help all families that qualify to keep their pet family members healthy and happy.

To apply for this program, get an application at Petsmart in Fayetteville or Peachtree City during adoptions on Saturdays from 12 until 4 p.m. or call, email or write for an application at www.fayettehumane.org or 770-487-1073.
