The 2013 Adopt-a-Pet.com Happy Beginnings Fund is now closed! We distributed $5,000 in grants to shelter and rescue adoptions programs across North America, helping create more “Happy Beginnings” – adoptions into new loving homes for homeless pets. If you were a shelter or rescue and had an innovative adoption program that needed funding, or you had specific costs related to making sure your adoptions are successful (like providing adoption kits or obedience classes), this fund was set up to help shelters and rescues like you! (See the grant recipients here.)
