The Humane Society of Polk County was surprised with a $5,000 check from Petco Love during a celebration at Petco on Wednesday, all thanks to a story submitted by local resident Tim Menard in the Petco Love Stories campaign.
Tim’s heartwarming story of how his adopted dog changed his life was selected as one of 100 Love Stories winners from across the country this year. Now the Humane Society of Polk County can earn up to an additional $25,000, but they need the community’s support. From now through December 15, the public can vote for the Humane Society of Polk County’s winning story in the People’s Choice competition: https://wshe.es/QhIIf8z3.
“Tim Menard’s story shows how adopted pets change our lives for the better and we are so thankful he shared his story in the annual Petco Love Stories campaign to help us receive a grant award. These funds will help us bring more pets in need together with loving families,” said Diane Christianson, Board President at The Humane Society of Polk County. “Now you can help us save even more pet lives by voting for our story.”
People’s Choice Competition: The top five stories with the most votes will earn additional grant funding from $5,000 to $25,000. The deadline to vote is December 15, 2021. Winners will be announced before Christmas. To view all 100 stories and vote for a favorite, visit https://petco.wishpondpages.com/love-stories-vote/
