The Petco Foundation, in partnership with Halo, Purely for Pets, recently announced its Holiday Wishes grant campaign, designed to help the most dedicated animal welfare organizations save more lives at the holidays, and year round.

EASEL Animal Rescue League has the opportunity to receive a grant award of $100,000, or a series of finalist awards ranging from $5,000 to $50,000.
