Denkai Animal Sanctuary has received a $10,000 grant from the Doris Day Animal Foundation to help subsidize veterinary care for senior pet owners across the Four Corners. The funding will support income-based assistance for a range of veterinary needs, including wellness exams, treatment for illness or injury, and emergency care. The nonprofit has served more than 35,000 animals since 2004 and says the grant will help reduce financial barriers for seniors while also expanding access to subsidized spay and neuter services. The program is designed to keep pets healthy and in their homes while easing pressure on local shelters. This story is sponsored by Choice Building Supply and Sky Ute Casino

The Doris Day
Foundation has funded $10,000.
This funding allows us to subsidize
and help fund vet care for seniors
and their pets and those pets needs,
and that can be anything.
We have been basing our subsidies
off of the HUD government subsidy piece.
And so if somebody has 80% of that
income,
showing will gap 20%, for instance.
We're hoping that we can help
at least 100 animals
subsidy wise, and hopefully it'll be more.
I've been in this industry for 22 years,
and I do it
because I want to help people and animals.
We want to see them succeed.
We want animals healthy.
We're just here to help the public
that needs us and especially their pets.
And don't be afraid to ask.
