The Problem

Homeless Animals

Why It's Important

Because animals deserve a good place to live just as much as humans do.

The Plan Of Action

Talk to shelters, Volunteer, clean up parks and public places------------------------------------------------ I just contacted five animal shelters. This being our second day of being an actual club this is a huge leap but if we can get some of them to respond we may have an opportunity to prove we really mean what we say. What does them replying mean? It means either they are nt interesting in supporting us in return for us helping them out OR it means we may have a job helping make sure dogs and cats are given good homes. So how about it people?

How Can Others Get Involved?

 
Help me volunteer when they get an oppurtunity

Project Updates

11/12/09
Update: Hi everyone! So far i have gotten one reply back from a shelter I thought you should be able to read it so you know what we might be able to do "Thank you. I am forwarding your eamil to one of our volunteer co-ordinators. She will contact you. We can always use dog handlers, thought if you are under 16 we require a parent or guardian to attend with you. We want you to be safe. We also have a few fundraising events coming up. Thanks, Wanda" So I will update you once more once their volunteering coordinator gets back to me. Also if you are interested in this project post a comment------------------------------- Details- The shelter is called "Rescued pets are Wonderful" and is located in Blaine, Minnesota. Check the calender for Adoption Days


11/12/09
Update: delay on volunteering-for me at least anyway. My mom said I can volunteer as long as i brush my teeth everyday and take a shower twice a week and yadayada and i need to do this for who knows how long before she'll let me volunteer.


11/27/09
Update: No I can finally start volunteering. If all goes well next Saturday I might be able to go volunteering at an adoption day. Also check the calender. I will be putting down adoption day events for St. Francis Animal Rescue now

What's your plan of action?: 
Talk to shelters, Volunteer, clean up parks and public places------------------------------------------------
I just contacted five animal shelters. This being our second day of being an actual club this is a huge leap but if we can get some of them to respond we may have an opportunity to prove we really mean what we say. What does them replying mean? It means either they are nt interesting in supporting us in return for us helping them out OR it means we may have a job helping make sure dogs and cats are given good homes. So how about it people?

nightstar_ says:
