Pat Sanford Animal Welfare Grant
A generous donation in honor of Pat Sanford has made possible a new grants pro-
gram to support animal welfare in Orange County. These grants can be used for a
wide range of pilot or seed projects- or to supplement other programs, projects,
and grants which support companion animals, including those animals servicing
recreational or therapeutic purposes.
Sanford is the former Executive Director of the Orange county Animal Protection
Society (APS), where she served for 17 years until her retirement in 2002. During
her time at APS, she implemented many important programs, including a huge
push for spay/neuter to combat the county’s growing pet overpopulation program.
During her tenure, she helped expand the size and capacity of the APS twice, grew
its budget and resources, and created a wildlife rehabilitation component that
would carry on beyond her retirement.
Sanford was a major voice for humane animal euthanasia in North Carolina, push-
ing for euthanasia by injection over the use of carbon monoxide. She acknowledged
that many of those ultimately euthanized had come from less than ideal back-
grounds with hard lives and deserved a compassionate end when euthanasia was
the only option. After her retirement, Sanford continued her work for Orange
County animals and, for several years, served on the county’s Animal Services Ad-
visory Board.
Ms. Sanford’s accomplishments in the field of animal welfare are vast and her co n-
tributions helped Orange County become and remain one of the leading counties in
the state and country for animal placement, recovery, and overall well-being. The
grants awarded in her honor will support efforts that exemplify the same dedica-
tion and commitment to animal welfare in Orange County. Grant awards are cur-
rently limited to a maximum of $500 and applications must be received by October
15th.
