Newnan-Coweta Humane Society has received an $800 Emergency Medical Grant from the Petfinder Foundation.

The Petfinder Foundation Emergency Medical Grant program is used to assist Petfinder members who are caring for a pet that needs special lifesaving veterinary care in order to become adoptable.

The Petfinder.com Foundation assists the 12,000+ animal shelters and rescue groups that post their adoptable pets on Petfinder.com. A nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization, the Petfinder Foundation helps adoption organizations find homes for the pets in their care through its Sponsor A Pet, Disaster Fund, Quality of Life and other programs. Since its founding in 2003, the Petfinder Foundation has given more than $20 million in cash and product grants to shelters and rescue groups in the United States, Canada and Mexico.

Newnan Coweta Humane Society posts its adoptable pets at www.petfinder.com/shelters/GA207.html.
