Donation to Stop Pain

Joe was rescued with Daisy from an abusive home and brought to TPC to find a new home. He is Black and white in color and is about 14 years old but that doesn't stop him from being the sweetest boy ever. Because he is a older boy he is more laid back and calm then most younger dogs but he still loves to get up and around and go for walks, car rides, and really just sniff around explore. In Joe's eyes there is always something new out there for him to check out. He is good with other dogs and children and he is housebroken. Daisy is laid back and has a sweet demeanor. She is good with other dogs and children, and she is housebroken.

POLICE RAID ON DOG SANCTUARY

On January 31st, a large dog rescue group was raided in connection with the investigation into the stolen property from the Ward Parkway Target store. So far, it appears that there was a mixup, and investigators confused regular donations to the rescue group with stolen goods. The Pet Connection is doing what it can to aid this group in caring for their animals because their facilities were damaged in the raid. Help us help these unfortunate dogs!

16th Annual Spay Day USA
February 23, 2010

Tuesday February 23 is the 16th Annual Spay Day USA.
It is estimated that the U.S. euthanizes more than 4 million pets each year due to lack of homes. That is one pet every eight seconds! We all must do our part to stop this tragedy.

The Pet Connection will have several activities going on this weeK to commemorate Spay Day USA.

Donations

The core of our operation is not only an adoption and obedience center but the nerve center for all of our outreach and community education programs. Spay and neuter scheduling, follow-up phone calls after adoptions, homeless pet intakes, networking and educational programs are just a few of our ongoing services. There are rents and salaries to pay as well as normal day to day costs of maintaining the shelter.

We are currently raising funds in hopes of expanding the following programs:

Events and benefits
No cost and low cost spay and neuter
Medical cost of pets and special needs
Support to other rescues and individuals
Community Education
Feral cat colonies
