Tehama County Animal Services
Turtle Bay Exploration Park
Spay and Neuter Intermountain Pets & Pet Placement

“We are delighted this year to be able to offer grants for general operating support, to help strengthen our region’s nonprofits as they work to care for homeless and owned pets, wildlife, and working animals,” said Megan Conn, Program Officer for the Community Foundation. “These grants provide flexible dollars to support the welfare of animals, allowing nonprofits to choose to spend the funds where needed most, whether it’s staffing, supplies, utilities, or programs. You can help animals by fostering or adopting a homeless pet, volunteering for a local nonprofit, or giving to the Animal Welfare Fund on North State Giving Tuesday.”
