2025 Animal Welfare Fund Grant Acceptance
OCAP received the 2025 Animal Welfare Fund Grant from the Michigan Department of Agriculture in the amount of $4,000.00 for spay and neuter.
Spay and neuter is a requirement for all of the dogs and cats that find themselves at the shelter to prevent further litters and overpopulation, reduce the risk of certain cancers, lower the risk of infections, improve hormonal balance and reduce aggression.
This grant will be set aside into a fund for spay/neuter for the dogs and cats here at OCAP and has been named "The Loki Fund" after one of the OCAP dogs we rescued from a neglect and cruelty case in the summer of 2024.
Unfortunately, Loki is no longer with us but his circumstances resonated with the grant writers. This award in his memory means a lot to the OCAP Board and volunteers.
