EVANSVILLE, Ind. (WFIE) - New grant dollars are set to make a big difference for animals at the Vanderburgh County Human Society.
The $25,000 Rachael Ray Save Them All Grant will allow VHS to create a new full-time Foster Coordinator role, which is set to be filled by a current employee.
The Coordinator will take charge of recruiting foster families, onboarding, training and will oversee the medical and socialization needs for the shelter’s animals.
“It’s kind of a 24/7 hour job. It’s been difficult watching people do that on top of all their other duties, so I am very excited to have someone who is dedicated just to that,” shared VHS Development Coordinator. “And we can hopefully retain more foster parents and hopefully save more kittens.”
