SACRAMENTO, Calif., Dec. 19, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- On December 11, the Petco Foundation presented the Sacramento SPCA with a Holiday Wishes grant in the amount of $10,000 at the Petco Store located in Folsom, CA.  The award was given thanks to an adoption story about Lee Asher and his German Shepherd, Tony Too Toned, who was adopted from the Sacramento SPCA and is now a member of The Asher House Pack - traveling cross-country 7-8 months of the year to help shelters find homes for other rescue animals.

With nine rescue dogs in an RV, Lee wasn't looking for a new member for his pack. But when he met Tony, he knew they were meant to be family.

Thousands of stories were submitted for the Petco Foundation Holiday Wishes grant and a total of 55 finalists and 50 honorable mentions were chosen.  As a Holiday Wishes award finalist for 2019, The Sacramento SPCA has the opportunity to earn up to an additional $25,000 ? but they need help from their animal-loving community.
