PET PALS FOR LIFE ORGANIZATION DOCUMENT This document attests to the fact that PET PALS FOR LIFE, a nonprofit unincorporated association was formed on March 12, 2002 by three group organizers, Sandy Christians, Sharon Fresvik and Susan Antonitis. The purpose of the above stated association is to work with shelters and humane societies in the housing, fostering, advertising, rehabilitation and adoption of animals (primarily dogs and cats) surrendered or strayed to these stated facilities. It is the intent of this association to operate on a membership basis with volunteers who will assist in the care and placement of abandoned and surrendered pets. Any additional funds for pet care and needs will be received in the form of donations and fund raising. A future goal would be to establish a sanctuary and shelter operated by PET PALS FOR LIFE as a nonprofit unincorporated association. PRINCIPLES AND GOALS Our first goal is to create public awareness about the necessity of spaying and neutering pets to prevent unplanned and unwanted litters of puppies and kittens. We feel that only qualified, humane registered breeders who breed specific purebreds should have breeding operations. A second goal is to create an active campaign which encourages the public to adopt pets from shelters. There seems to be a perception that many of these animals are not quality dogs and cats. But nothing could be further from the truth. Pets are placed in shelters for a variety of reasons –true, quite often because of abuse and neglect, but also because people move, become ill or just do not want to accept the responsibility of a cute puppy or kitten who grows up into an adult pet who needs to be trained and socialized. Our third goal is to remind those seeking pets to ask about the strays that quite often are housed in a separate area. There are many beautiful purebreds and mixed breeds that the public does not see simply because they do not ask to see the strays or have access to a website that displays them. Thousands of these pets are destroyed nationally simply because when there is not enough space to house them. So in summation, there needs to be encouragement and legislation enacted that requires spaying and neutering. Also, unless you are working with a breeder for a specific breed, please visit your local humane society or shelter when you want to adopt a new pet. And if you’re interested in locating a specific rescued breed, visit the website at www.netpets.com. webmaster: Sharon Rae www.heartofthevine.com
