Foster Families: These special families care for our pets until their forever home is found. All vet care is paid by the Coalition. Families are responsible for all the love and affection they can possibly lavish on their foster pet. Sometimes we can supply foster families with donated food, but in the event that we do not have any, the families are responsible for the cost of food. Families must also bring their pet to any required vet visits and as many outreach events as possible. We are in desperate need of foster families. The more families that work with us the more pets we can rescue.

This project is meant to raise money and promote awareness for the Trap-neuter/spay-release programs throughout Illinois and the greater Chicago land area. I have been a long time volunteer at animal shelters and know first hand how much spaying one cat can cost. The more money donated the fewer cats there are running around on the streets. I also hope to educate our children about this cause by speaking publicly for schools, Scout troops, and community organizations.

Pulling perfectly good dogs and cats of all breeds, sizes, and ages that are slated for euthenasia from overcrowded animal shelters and providing them with basic health needs like spay/neuter, vaccinations, health checks, flea treatment, heartworm tests, and preventative and finding them loving, forever homes with Rescue Farm: a no-kill, non-profit animal rescue out of Poland, Indiana. We post the pets online and people inquire about them via Lauren, a dedicated, long-time volunteer with the rescue. Then they arrange to come meet the dog at the rescue or via one of our adoption events, which is where I come in. Jodi, the wonderful woman who takes care of all of the animals on a daily basis, brings them to the Petsmart in Terre Haute where they are showcased to the public for adoption. We also like to microchip the dogs so in the event they are ever lost again, they'll be returned home safely!We've had everything from Mastiffs to Chihuhuas and we've had around 700 adoptions this year alone--dogs and cats!700 dogs and cats that would have likely otherwise been put to sleep due to lack of exposure to the public and resources. We are run soley off of adoption fees and donations. We recieve no goverment money whatsoever but yet, we've been saving lives and making it happen since 2004!

For around three years I volunteered for a nonprofit organization called SNAP - Spay Neuter Action Project. We provide low cost spay and neuter for low income individuals who own dogs, cats, and/or rabbits in San Diego County. Our website is http://www.snap-sandiego.org.

Our goal is to end pet over-population and help keep the shelter's number low, rather than over flowing as they currently exist. We began in 2003 by a wonderful woman named Candy Schumann, our Volunteer Executive Director and founder.

We run education workshops for free on proper pet care, pet over-population, and dog bite prevention. These workshops are offered to numerous schools and other organizations (like the girl scouts) around San Diego County.

At the beginning of this year SNAP offered me a paid position, and I am currently an employee, working as a Kennel Assistant on our mobile veterinary bus where we do our spay and neuter surgeries on dogs, cats, and rabbits. My job is to monitor the animals and clean & prepare the dirty surgical instruments for re-sterilization in the autoclave.

Since we began in August of 2003 we have fixed over 15,000 pets in San Diego Counties, and it was recently reported by one of our most severely over populated shelters (Chula Vista Animal Care Facility) that for the first time in years the animal intake numbers have finally began to decrease!!!!

Thanks for looking, and please spay or neuter your pets! Because there just aren't homes for them all.

Project Donate is to help sick animals and healthy animals in the process of about to go to adoptions to find a good home.

Companion Animal Rescue League (C.A.R.L.) is a non-profit animal rescue group made up entirely of volunteers. The rescue group has at least 20 members.
• We do not operate a shelter
• Rely on volunteer foster homes to house and care for the pets in our program.
• All of our pets are spayed/neutered, vaccinated, dewormed and tested for heartworms (dogs) or FIV/FeLV (cats) prior to adoption.
• Most pets are also microchipped.

As a volunteer-only organization, the number of pets we can help is limited by the number of foster homes we have available to care for them.

C.A.R.L. is LEAGAL licensed rescue group by the Department of Agriculture and the Internal Revenue Service (IRS).

C.A.R.L. is a non-profit and 501(c)(3) tax-exempt rescue group. C.A.R.L. needs donations in order to save lives and to keep the expenses down in price.
