During these challenging times, the first to be compromised are the animals. Many don’t get the medical care they need or the right kind of food as people struggle to make ends meet. In extreme cases, families are losing their homes due to foreclosures and animals are abandoned or taken to shelters because there seems to be no other options. Rescue groups are forced to compromise the quality of care for their animals as resources and financial support dwindles.

We all know that animals still have basic needs no matter what is happening around them. Animals First Foundation is launching a campaign that, (for less than the price of a latte) will help pay for the basic care of a dog or cat in need. We are asking for a minimum donation of $2.00 from as many people as possible so we are able to continue to provide quality care for our animals and other rescues.

Your efforts will assist with services such as, but not limited to:

Please pass this campaign on to as many people as possible requesting a minimum donation of $2.00. The more people participate, the more animals can be helped.

With teamwork, we can continue to make a difference in the lives of animals. Your support and efforts are greatly appreciated.

*******************************

Your contributions whether monetary or supplies are always welcome.  Rescuing, homing, transporting, boarding, training and providing medical care all require money and supplies. Your donation will help immensely towards giving a rescued animal the best of care and preparation on its road to a better life.

Your generosity will also go towards funding various wildlife campaigns such as, working towards putting a stop to the annual, barbaric Canadian harp seal slaughter.
