Beyond votes, Fetch Cares raises $4,000 for local shelters

PARK CITY, Utah — Fetch Park City, known for its pet boarding services, took a different approach to building relationships with donors this year. Instead of asking for votes for “Park City’s Best,” which they have won several times, Fetch asked for donations for its nonprofit arm, Recover care. They ended up raising $4,000 for Summit County Animal Control and the Heber Valley Animal Shelter.

PJ Saylor, co-owner of Fetch, explained the motivation behind this request:

“We felt uncomfortable asking our clients to vote daily, especially given the challenges shelters face. Instead, we decided to ask for donations to help address overcrowded and underfunded shelters.

The fundraiser also helped Fetch raise community awareness of current shelter challenges, including the many animals abandoned after the pandemic puppy boom.

The response from customers was overwhelming, with donations exceeding expectations. A Fetch Cares volunteer said: “The generosity was incredible. We ended up with more money than we expected, allowing us to support not only the Summit County shelter, but also Heber Valley.

The funds were used to purchase essential items such as metal water buckets, humane traps and even medical care through the Nuzzles Clinic. “The shelters were thrilled,” Saylor said. “It’s heartwarming to see the community come together to support these animals. » To donate to our local animal shelters, check out their Amazon wish lists:
