FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
MARR Awarded $2000 Grant to Save More Pets
The grant recognizes MARR’s efforts to increase pet transport and adoptions through the Best Friends Partner Up Challenge — a nationwide initiative designed to build lifesaving momentum by strengthening collaboration between shelters and rescue groups to help place more pets in loving homes. The Partner Up Challenge ran from April 1-30, 2025. Over 160 organizations participated, leading to over 2,100 animals positively impacted across the country. “Through the Partner Up Challenge, MARR built and strengthened our partnership with Joplin Humane Society and Midlands Humane Society to create more space for pets in need and help more dogs get adopted,” said Kay Word. We were honored to be chosen to participate in the challenge, and for Best Friends’ support in amplifying our transfers and lifesaving. Being awarded this grant means we can save even more of our community’s homeless pets and keep the momentum going!” A pet is “transferred” when they are moved from a shelter facing capacity issues to another shelter or rescue group that has the space and resources to help them get adopted. Transfer partnerships are critical to lifesaving and play an important role in reaching no-kill. Best Friends works with shelters and rescues across the country to improve partnerships and increase transfers.
