Freckles’ Friends has received a $2,000 grant from the Build-A-Bear Workshop Bear Hugs Foundation! These funds will be used to provide spay/neuter financial assistance for low- income pet owners through Freckles’ Friends Low-Income Spay/Neuter Voucher Program. To qualify for assistance through this program, pet owners must provide proof of low income status through participation in a government program such as Disability, Unemployment, Public Housing, Supplemental Security Income, etc. We want to thank Build-A-Bear Workshops for their support and generous grant. The Build-A-Bear Workshop Bear Hugs Foundation is committed to making life more bearable for children, families and pets, in need of a helping paw. With the sale of each full-sized Beremy’s Kennel Pals® friend – a collection of Build-A-Bear Workshop® plush dogs – one dollar is donated to domestic pet organizations and pet education programs around the country. These funds are available to qualified non-profit organizations in the United States and Canada. Visit www.buildabear.com for more information.
