The Rhode Island Foundation has awarded $636,000 in grants to more than 24 animal welfare organizations across the state, supporting efforts that promote animal health, humane treatment, and community well-being. The funding will expand access to low-cost Veterinary care for pets in low-income households, prepare animals for adoption, and support education programs in schools. The announcement was made at the Rhode Island SPCA, which received $23,316 for its Seniors for Seniors program that pairs older adults with senior pets.
The largest grant, $72,000, went to the Potter League for Animals to subsidize Veterinary care, spay and neuter surgeries, and adoption services. Other major recipients include Animal Rescue Rhode Island and the Rhode Island Pet Network. Collectively, the grants strengthen animal care, education, and adoption services statewide while supporting healthier communities for both people and pets.
