Much Love Animal Rescue’s goal for 2012 is to rescue
at least 200 homeless dogs and cats from LA area shelters
The past few years have been tough on all of us. During a time when people were saving every penny for their own family, non-profit groups like ours – who run entirely on donations and fundraising – felt the hit as well.
Much Love Animal Rescue is ready to move forward in 2012 and save more lives in each year to come. We are excited to kick off 200 in 2012 and hope you will help us reach our goal. In January we have already rescued 24 animals! We are off to a good start.
Much Love Animal Rescue will always rescue the senior animals, the terrier with one eye, the kitten with 3 legs, the pit puppies with mange, the poodle with pneumonia – but also those highly adoptable animals we place in a few days, but who get over-looked in the shelters simply because there are too many there.
Our plan is always to decrease the numbers of animals in the shelters, in hope to create space so less are euthanized each year. 200 might not sound like a lot to some of you, but it literally means life for those dogs and cats we rescue, and also for the ones who get to live a little longer in the shelter, and hopefully be adopted, because of the space we have made.
How are we going to go about this goal? Below is a list of ways we are growing our organization – and we need your help! ADOPT! The more furry friends we put into loving homes, the more we can go back and get. Donations to Much Love Animal Rescue go entirely towards the care of our animals. More donations = more lives saved. Also, the more foster homes we have (especially if you do not have other pets) the more animals we can rescue. By not boarding our animals, we save hundreds of dollars a month and the money saved can go towards rescuing more homeless dogs and cats.
Please help us reach 200 in 2012!
- We have an experienced grant writer on board who will be applying for a minimum of 12 grants
- We kicked off the year with a fabulous fundraiser – Dr. Nguyen’s Makeovers For Mutts – which raised over $34,000 for our animals
- Our newly formed Foster & Volunteer Committees are working hard to grow those areas of the organization by creating more outreach and better communication
- Our Much Love Manager (our one employee) has been with our organization for over 3 years and she does an incredible job of making sure our dogs and cats are where they need to be, and for the lowest costs
- We are planning many fun, small events and promotions to raise awareness of animal rescue and Much Love
- Watch for a new campaign this year to raise money for an actual facility! After 13 years, we think we are ready
