| Scoring Criteria | |
| 1. Description of the Organization (maximum 5 points, please limit to ½ pages) | Wishbone Pet Rescue Alliance was created in 2008. Wishbone Pet Rescue Alliance’s mission is to alleviate the pain and suffering of homeless pets by securing shelter, veterinary care, and permanent, loving homes for animals in need, as well as spay/neuter and other supportive services to the low-income community to keep pets in their home. |
| 2. Funding Request (maximum 35 points, total, please limit to 1 page) | Wishbone Pet Rescue Alliance is requesting $10,000.00 from West Shore Aware to establish an emergent needs medical fund, which will be used to treat animals received by shelter with injuries or illnesses. Animals like Hammerhead, a Pit Bull mix who was brought into the shelter after being shot in the leg, requiring amputation, which costs about $900.00. Or Samson, a Great Dane who was surrendered because he needed hip surgery, costing about $3,000.00, which his owner could not afford. |
| 3. Funding Justification (maximum 40 points, please limit to 1 page) | The funding from West Shore Aware will pay for 25% of the projected total medical expenses for 2024. The remaining funds will come primarily from unrestricted donations received from individuals. If we do not obtain the $40,000.00 we project will be needed, we will spend what we have as needs arise, until the funds are gone. |
| 4. Summary | Wishbone Pet Rescue Alliance is requesting $10,000.00 from West Shore Aware to establish an emergent needs medical fund for animals that arrive at the Allegan County Shelter with illnesses or injuries in need of medical treatment that are not covered by the shelter. The care purchased with these funds will save the lives of innocent animals and prepare them for adoption into their forever homes. |
