Maddie's Fund Grant to the Kenai Animal Shelter
The Kenai Animal Shelter received an operating support grant from Maddie's Fund®. The shelter
received $5,000.00 made possible by a grant from Maddie's Fund #Than ksToM add ie, a national
family foundation established by Dave and Cheryl Duffield to revolutionize the status and well-
being of companion animals.
Thanks to Maddie's Fund, this grant will be used to update the existing security system to ensure
it operates in an efficient manner to safeguard the animals in our care. The grant funds will also
be used to purchase a new dishwasher and other items needed for the operations of the Kenai
Animal Shelter as identified by the Animal Control Chief.
I am respectfully requesting consideration of the ordinance accepting and designating those funds
to the Kenai Animal Shelter as they were intended.
