Donald Klekamp
Don Klekamp, a proud Cincinnatian and longtime community leader, has made a transformational $100,000 gift to Pets In Need in loving memory of his late wife, Marianne and their cherished Westie, Lily. Known for his humility and generosity, Don often reflects on the deep values instilled by his family and the life he built with his beloved wife, Marianne - one rooted in gratitude, faith, family, and giving back. His thoughtful gift will help ensure that pets living in households facing financial hardship can access the veterinary care they need to stay healthy and remain with the people who love them. We are truly honored by Don’s support and the compassion he brings to our mission.

Greater Good Charities
We’re grateful to Greater Good Charities for their ongoing support of Pets In Need of Greater Cincinnati through in-kind donations of essential veterinary medications. Through their generous program, we’re able to request and receive the treatments our pets need most, including preventatives like NexGard PLUS and NexGard COMBO, which protect both dogs and cats against fleas, ticks, heartworms, and intestinal parasites. These medications are critical in preventing serious illness and maintaining long-term health, and this support allows us to offer high-quality preventative care at a reduced cost. Because of Greater Good Charities more pets are able to stay protected year-round and avoid preventable conditions that can quickly become serious and costly.

Joint Women's Collaborative of Wyoming
We’re grateful to the Joint Women’s Collaborative of Wyoming for their continued support of Pets In Need of Greater Cincinnati. This funding went towards prescription and therapeutic pet food. For many of the families we serve, cost is a major barrier when it comes to accessing the specialized nutrition their pets need to stay healthy. Thanks to JWC, we’re able to provide prescription diets that help manage conditions like digestive disorders and other chronic health issues, care that might otherwise be out of reach. These diets play a critical role in improving health outcomes, reducing discomfort, and preventing more serious complications that can lead to additional veterinary visits. This support not only helps pets feel better faster but also eases the financial and emotional burden on the people who love them.
