Rescuing and Rehoming Animals
Celebrating 30 Years!
Pet Welfare has been in operation since 1982 where we were once just giving the cats and dogs away because there were so many and we were just happy to find a home for all the strays. Still to this day Pet Welfare is a no-kill facility open to the public trying to aid the military when they have to leave their pets behind.
In 2002, after 6 years of hard fundraising, Pet Welfare celebrated the grand opening of a new facility. We are always in need of volunteers and foster homes and depend solely on donations and grants. Everyday we love and care for animals in need and on those days when we feel we’re the only ones caring or can barely think straight because we’re so tired, we pick ourselves up and look around and remember what we do it for...the animals that need us.
♥♥♥HELP US CELEBRATE 30 YEARS♥♥♥
Pet Welfare is excited to be celebrating 30 years of rehoming pets this year! We want to take this opportunity to thank all our wonderful supporters, for without your help, our longevity would not have been possible. We have plans in the works for a couple of exciting events to mark this anniversary. Save the date of 27 October 2012 and expect a fun and exciting day seeing all the changes and improvements to the shelter. All volunteers, past and present, sponsors, donors, adopters, etc are invited to come out for hot dogs, hamburgers, and a fun festive reunion! Feel free to bring the pets you have adopted from us : ) We also have tentative plans for a fund-raising gala. More details to come.
Warmly, Jen Chapman, Chairman
