LOCAL ANIMAL RESCUE AGENCY SEEKS IMMEDIATE DONATIONS
Las Vegas, Nevada – NOVEMBER, 2009 – Adopt-A-Rescue-Pet, Inc. (ARP), one of the largest no-kill rescue organizations in southern Nevada that rescues animals facing euthanasia, has launched an urgent fundraising appeal. Expansion of their dog rescue ranch and retirement sanctuary is on hold due to lack of finances and existing debt. ARP currently houses 350+ animals between facilities in Las Vegas and Amargosa Valley, Nevada. This year 1,329 dogs have been sterilized, of which 1,289 have been adopted.
Adopt A Rescue Pet is in dire need of financial assistance to cover existing and future veterinary bills, food costs, and rents. Building
materials, chain link, fencing materials, dog houses, etc. are also
needed to cope with the influx of animals expected to seek assistance
in the coming months. If everyone who hears or
reads this plea for assistance donates $1 many dogs will can be
sterilized and others safe from euthanasia. “We
have all received chain letters promising luck if you pass the letter
on to 10 people, so imagine 10 x 10 x 10 x 10 = 10,000. Most
of us have $1 in change loose in our car, can afford to skip the soda
on the way home from work, or would be willing to pay $1 at the dog
park gate. Mediums of communication are amazing
in today’s commerce world, so imagine the capability passing the plea
to 10 people can accomplish. A dollar from all is all it would take to make a big change in a dogs life.”
