FOSTER
NETWORK RESCUE
FUND
AniMeals began as a food bank
for animals. We recently expanded our
work to include a rescue operation, which
consists of saving the lives of animals
marked for euthanasia. We pull these
animals out of overcrowded shelters and
put them into our foster network until we
can find forever homes for them. Once in
our care, they
are spayed/neutered, vaccinated for
rabies and distemper, and micro-chipped
so that they never have to face the
threat of euthanasia again. Ten million
animals are lost or abandoned every year
and five million of them are destroyed.
The numbers are staggering. We are
working to bring about a time when no
more animals are killed just because they
have lost their homes.
We need funds to
continue this work.

Why Should I
Adopt?
If you have room in your home
and in your heart for a new dog or cat,
adopting makes sense for lots of reasons.
Here are just four of them:
1. You will be saving a
life. Even if you adopt from an
organization that has a no-kill policy, you
will be helping to rescue another animal by
making space available at the shelter.
2. You will be saving
money because adoption costs less than buying
an
animal from a pet shop or a breeder.
3.
By adopting rather than buying a new
companion animal, you will reduce the demand
that drives the commercial breeding of puppies
and kittens. Each year, millions of
healthy and well-behaved animals are destroyed
in shelters simply because there are not enough
homes for all of them.
4.
If you adopt a young adult or older pet,
you can avoid many of the domestic hassles
related to house-training and teething.
Puppies and kittens are cute but they
require lots of attention, training,
patience...and newspapers! An older dog might
fit in better with your loyal old Labrador then
a rambunctious torpedo of a puppy. Kittens
are easier than puppies, but you may also want
to consider the benefits of an adult kitty, who
has already gone through the precocious kitten
stage. So, there are plenty of good reasons to
adopt your next pet, but probably the best
reason to adopt a dog or cat is that you just
might meet your best friend.
