A message from our friends at Pethealth Inc.

Diane & Bob Hoover Innovation Award Winner

Pethealth Inc. is honored to recognize Arizona Humane Society (AHS) as this year’s recipient of the Diane & Bob Hoover Annual Innovation Award. They’ll receive $15,000 for their innovative used car donation program. Due to COVID-19, the team at AHS was faced with several complex challenges both in and outside their shelter. As a result, they adjusted their pre-existing vehicle donation program to target donors in the community wishing to sell a vehicle — significantly increasing the program’s annual revenue.
