The Oneida County Humane Society has received a $100,000 grant from the Petco Foundation.
The grant was announced Saturday evening during the Humane Society's "Furball" event in Minocqua.
Petco acquired Drs. Foster and Smith in Rhinelander in February. The President of the Petco Foundation, Charlie Piscitello, made the announcement during the fundraiser.
Foster and Smith spokesperson Gordon Magee says the Foundation wants to invest in the region given the acquisition of Foster and Smith...
"....and each year they donate about $20 million to assist companion animals across the country and this year because of the arrangement with Drs. Foster and Smith and the acquisition in February, the Oneida County Humane Society was selected. Petco is deeply invested in the community...."
A Humane Society board member says how the donation will be used has not been determined at this time.
