The Capital Humane Society has received a $6,500 grant from a national animal welfare organization that works to save cats and dogs in shelters across the country. CHS Director of Marketing, Shana Perry, says the Rachael Ray “Save Them All” grant from Best Friends Animal Society will support lifesaving efforts in Lincoln through shelter intake diversion programming.
By removing economic barriers for pet owners, Perry says their goal is to prevent 66 cats and dogs from being surrendered to the Admissions and Assessment Center. “This Rachael Ray ‘Save Them All’ grant means we can assist more pets and owners with lifesaving vaccinations and remove economic barriers to continued pet ownership,” Perry says.
“These animals deserve support, and we deeply appreciate the funding from Best Friends and the Rachael Ray Foundation. It will help us, and our community, save lives.” Capital Humane Society is one of 53 shelters and rescues across the country to receive grants in 2026. In total, the funding is projected to impact more than 19,000 cats and dogs.
“Capital Humane Society was selected among 320 applicants because of its innovation, dedication, and readiness to save pets’ lives,” says Whitney Bollinger, Director of Strategy and Network Operations for Best Friends Animal Society. “We are proud to provide funding to support its critical lifesaving work in Lincoln.”
