Our group is a fledgling one. It all began in March
of 2007 when we took in our first 11 dogs. Most of the animals we
have rescued to date have come from the Gilchrist County. This past year our focus has been
on fund raising to help complete a new facility, designed to triple
the capacity to house injured, abandoned and abused animals. In
this process, we became acutely aware of the unique needs of animal
care and control in rural counties, such as feral cats and dogs, neglected
and abandoned pets and even livestock, and the need for low cost spay
and neuter programs. This year we will seek to launch such a program
as well as expand our fostering and placement activities, and aid
the county in supplementing medications and veterinary service to
the animals in their care. All of these activities shall help us move
closer to our goal of becoming a no-kill animal control program.
