"I'm so excited about the Pets for the Elderly program. You've probably got a lot of participation in Florida because of our number of retirees. We had an elderly gentleman adopt a puppy today. He was standing in the lobby holding his puppy as we all oohed and ahhed, and he was laughing about what a chick magnet his puppy was going to be!"Michelle McCann

"On behalf of the Board of Trustees, the staff, the animals and the elderly people who will benefit from your contribution & help let me take this opportunity to thank the Foundation for its generous donation and help.Without your support, we would be unable to expand the Pets For the Elderly program. We thank you for permitting us to continue bringing companionship and love into the lives of many seniors"
"Thank you for giving us the opportunity to take part in your program to provide pets for older citizens. For some years, we have been operating a similar program on our own for cat adoptions in cash; and we also have a limited number of dogs available through another program. While we do have these existing programs, it appears that your program would give us the ability to provide so many more seniors with loving pets! Thanks for this
opportunity."Erik Hendricks, Executive Director,
Pennsylvania Society for the Prevention of Cruelty
to Animals, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
"We very much appreciate your generosity in making this donation. By facilitating adoptions of shelter animals by senior citizens, you are doing two-fold good: you are increasing the quality of life of the elderly in our community, and you are giving shelter animals a loving new home."
Daniel Withrow, Executive Assistant,
Asheville Humane Society, Asheville,
North Carolina"Thank you for allowing us to participate in your program. We are having great success with our
adoptions to individuals over 60, and we're amazed at the amount of seniors who now adopt from our shelter"Karen M. Bukowski, Executive Director,
The Humane Society of Northwestern Pennsylvania, Erie, Pennsyvania"The Good News is spreading...interest is mushrooming in the benefits of your organization. Thank you for caring!"
Isabel Mendez, Shelter Director,
The Laredo Animal Protective Society, Laredo, Texas"The Geauga Humane Society, its Board of Directors, Staff, Volunteers, and all the animals and people who benefit from our services extend our deep appreciation for your contribution.

We are honored to be part of the Pets For the Elderly program.
Your concern for the rights and welfare of animals guarantees a better life for animals and the people who love them. Thank you again for helping the animals and the people of The Geauga Humane Society. We will gladly let them know you care."
