For the Reporter
Trupanion, a company in Seattle that offers medical insurance for cats and dogs, recently visited the Regional Animal Services of King County (RASKC) in Kent, bearing gifts. More specifically, a check for $5,000 and a portion of its pet-treat award for winning The Bark’s Best Places to Work Contest.
The company was awarded a year supply of Zuke’s treats for its more than 227 pets that come into its office each day. But the company decided to donate them to animal shelters for homeless pets instead, RASKC being one of them.
Donations will support the shelter’s efforts in caring for lost, abused and adoptable pets of King County.
As a public organization supported primarily through pet license sales and county funding, RASKC relies on financial and in-kind donations to do the wonderful work that they do—which includes caring for lost and injured animals, enforcing animal-related laws, and placing animals in forever homes. These funds will be used directly to help the animals in the care of RASKC.
