Pittsylvania Pet Center receives $10K grant to help 68 dogs seized

CHATHAM, Va. – The Pittsylvania Pet Center received a $10,000 grant to help with the emergency support of 68 dogs that were seized from a hoarding situation last week.

The grant comes from the BISSELL Pet Foundation and will help these dogs find loving homes.

“I want to thank the BISSELL Pet Foundation and Cathy Bissell for their generosity in providing this grant that is helping us provide medical treatment and ongoing care for these animals,” said Brent Weinkauf, Pittsylvania Pet Center Director. “This is a truly sad situation, but the support of the Bissell Pet Foundation and the community will help these animals find a better future.”

The pet center is also asking the community to help by donating pet and cleaning supplies, which can be dropped off outside its front door.

Monetary donations can be made on the Pittsylvania Pet Center’s Facebook page as well.
