Dripping Springs, Texas – Service Dogs, Inc. (SDI) received a $10,000 grant investment from national nonprofit Petco Love in support of their lifesaving work for animals in Texas.

Petco Love is a national nonprofit leading change for pets by harnessing the power of love to make communities and pet families closer, stronger, and healthier. Since its founding in 1999, Petco Love has invested $350 million in adoption and other lifesaving efforts. And Petco Love helps find loving homes for pets in partnership with Petco and more than 4,000 organizations — like ours — across North America, with 6.7 million pets adopted and counting.

“Our investment in Service Dogs, Inc. is part of more than $15M in investments recently announced by Petco Love to power local organizations across the country as part of our commitment to create a future in which no pet is unnecessarily euthanized,” said Susanne Kogut, president of Petco Love. “Our local investments are only part of our strategy to empower animal lovers to drive lifesaving change right alongside us. We recently launched Petco Love Lost, a national lost and found database that uses pet image technology to simplify the search for lost pets.”

“Petco Love has been a pivotal partner in us saving the lives of thousands of dogs and repurposing them as assistive technology for individuals living with disabilities,” says Sheri Soltes, Founder & CEO of Service Dogs, Inc. “We have innovated the way Service Dogs are trained globally and appreciate their support.”
