The Joplin Humane Society is one of 56 animal rescue organizations that has received grant funding to participate in the inaugural ASPCA "Mega Match-a-thon," an event that will take place in late March or early April to foster large-scale nationwide adoptions.

We hope the grant funding will help these rescue organizations in collaboration with other groups in their community save a record number of lives during the ASPCAs Mega Match-a-thon event, said ASPCA President and CEO Ed Sayres. If we all work together, we can find loving homes for the many homeless animals in shelters across the country.

Other Missouri agencies receiving the grants are Columbia Second Chance and the Kansas City Pet Project and Wayside Waifs in Kansas City.
