LINCOLN, Neb. (KOLN) – The Capital Humane Society announced on Monday that they received a $150,000 grant from Petsmart Charities. According to CHS, 50 million pets in the U.S. experience a lack of access to even basic veterinary care. Rising costs and other barriers mean these pets struggle to access services such as spay/neuter procedures, vaccinations and critical medical and preventative care. With as many as 70% of households now including pets, this issue affects families in nearly every community.
