Saving Shelter Pets
Today I recieved an email from Jane, and had to share right away. Jane is part of a great non-profit that helps save shelter animals.
“I work with a 501c3 non-profit rescue group called Saving Shelter Pets. We are a small, Internet-based group, with members and supporters all over the country (and a few international supporters too!). Our work addresses a number of domestic companion animal welfare issues. We are not a licensed rescue ourselves, but we facilitate rescues of dogs and cats in high-kill shelters, get them vetted and into boarding for quarantine, then send them to pre-screened no-kill rescues where they can be adopted into a loving, forever home. We also have an active Spay/Neuter program.We are working with one county in a rural area of Georgia to provide certificates for low-cost spay/neuter surgeries for pets belonging to low-income families. Also, we just recently helped sponsor a mobile spay/neuter unit at a humane society in a rural area of Ohio, where over 80 animals were fixed in a single weekend! We have a program called Puppy Promises that keeps unwanted puppies from being turned into a shelter and offers them a rescue instead - PLUS it spays the mother dog (which we pay for) so she can’t have any other litters.”
They need your help to win a very cool contest! The contest winner recieves a grant of up to $10,000. What makes this contest so special is that the winners are chosen by the highest number of donations, not the highest donation totals. So, just making the small $10 donation could put Saving Shelter Pets on the road to winning! It’s amazing what they could do with the $10,000, including spay and neuter for 200 animals!
