The Fulton County Community Foundation recently awarded a $500 grant to Housin’ Hounds Animal Rescue. This funding, made possible by the foundation’s Tom Wilson Memorial Fund, will support the organization’s ongoing efforts to provide shelter, care and adoption services for animals in need.

“This generous grant from the Tom Wilson Memorial Fund supports our mission to rescue dogs from puppy mills and backyard breeders, placing each dog into a loving foster home until they find their forever family,” said Danay Bowyer with Housin’ Hounds. “It helps us cover essential vet care along with grooming, food and supplies for these deserving pups.”

Housin’ Hounds Animal Rescue, run solely by volunteers, is committed to finding safe and loving homes for dogs, while also promoting responsible pet ownership. Community support and partnerships are essential in helping them fulfill their mission.

“Support like this empowers us to encourage spaying and neutering in the community and promote adoption over buying,” said Bowyer. “Together, we can change the future for these animals.”
