SLCO Animal Services Answers ASPCA Challenge

Salt Lake County Animal Services
Answers the ASPCA
$100,000 Challenge!

Salt Lake County Animal Services has been accepted to compete in the ASPCA $100,000 Saving More Lives Challenge that began August 1st.

“We are very excited to join the 50 other shelters across the nation that are participating in this challenge to save more pet lives in our communities,” says Shawni Larrabee, Director. “With all of the changes and new programs at the County shelter, combined with all of the amazing pet loving citizens in our community, we believe we have a very good chance of winning this challenge.”

The ASPCA $100,000 Challenge runs from August 1st through October 31st and the shelter that has the greatest increase in the number of animals adopted, reunited with owners or trapped, neutered and returned (TNR program for feral cats) compared to the number completed last year will win the challenge and the award.

In addition to the main award, there is also a $25,000 Community Engagement award that will go either to the challenge winner or a runner up.

“People that can’t adopt can still help by getting involved and following our progress and new promotions on Facebook or at our website www.AdoptUtahPets.com. Getting the word out about the challenge is half of the battle and the community's involvment will make all of the difference."
