Nestlé Purina PetCare announced a $20,000 donation to help PAWS & More fund the construction of a new facility to serve pets and residents in Washington and several surrounding communities. Since opening in 1978, PAWS & More has provided animals with shelter and compassionate care, including control and placement for stray animals as well as a spay/neuter program with a major impact on feral cats. The existing PAWS & More facility has deteriorated to the point that it can no longer be repaired. The new facility will enhance the organization’s operations by adding outdoor play space for animals, garage access for van parking, and additional storage. The donation is being granted through the Purina Trust Fund, established by Purina founder William H. Danforth to provide critical support to important community causes. The company is investing more than $1 million in its communities this year through several capital and capacity-building grants to support local non-profit organizations.
