What they're saying:
Amend told Hartley his donation will have a huge impact on the animals under the care of BARC, and they will prioritize the dollars for adoption programs.
BARC can never turn an animal away that's brought to the municipal shelter, which means it takes in an average of 22,000 animals every year.
Donations to the foundation support spay and neuter initiatives, adoption programs, and medical care the shelter's annual budget can't always support.
