“The Sweetest Dog”Melon’s Happy Tail
After rescuing an emaciated, tick-infested pup from a rural Virginia road, Kiele was committed to nursing Melon back to good health and finding her a family that would never leave her behind. She gave her everything – supplements, medicated baths, antibiotics, flea and tick prevention, and hookworm treatment – but little Melon had tested positive for heartworms, and she couldn’t find her forever home without lifesaving treatment and a RedRover Relief Urgent Care grant. Fortunately, Kiele and Melon had a FurEver Friend by their side on the road to her new life.

Home Stretch: The Final Year of 25 by 2025 Recap
This month, we brought community members together for our annual 25 by 2025 update call where we shared the current percentage of pet-friendly shelters nationwide (19.5%!) and announced our revamped website, toolkit, and plans for the rest of the year. We learned a long time ago that it wasn’t enough to just offer grant funding, but that we needed to support organizations in the process. Learn more about our virtual event and access the recording at the link below.
