One day at a time, we are making a difference in the lives of so many animals.
These donations have provided:
Much needed funds for our local rescue groups’ equipment needs;
Funds for the medical care of animals in these rescue shelters;
Funds for training dogs in these shelters to help make them more adoptable;
Funds for animals affected by our local domestic violence pet protection program; and funds to support a new program to teach responsible pet ownership to our children.
To further personalize how our members have made life much better for so many animals, here are some specifics concerning how 2010 funds were spent:
