Let’s Save 100 Dogs + Cats – NOW!

Share

You’re reading this because you’re probably a member of Let’s Adopt!
I applaud you for joining our networks.

Now I want to ask you to join our tribe, by becoming an active member of our operations, to join our tribe!
We are of course animal lovers, but we are activists first. Which means, that we love all the cute pictures of pups and kitties. However, there are too many cute pups and kitties dying in our so-called shelters and by the hands of abusers and breeders every single day.
We must act – NOW!

I am often disillusioned by what I see, especially on the web.
Horrendous abuse, crush videos, starved animals, scared animals going crazy in their kennels at the pound.
I have seen many of these cases in my work as an activist and rescuer. The 1-day-old kittens I raised with an eyedropper or feeding tube, just to see them succumb to a simple upper respiratory infection. The kittens that were exposed to FIP, and ultimately died because their intestines and organs literally liquefied inside of them.

However there were hundreds that were a joy to foster and raised to be strong enough to be adopted. There are many, many success stories, which by far outweigh the bad experiences.
Now I want YOU to experience the feeling of saving a life and what an impact you alone can make in your community.
I want YOU to reach out to your local pound and rescue a dog or a cat.

Rescue an animal from death row - TODAY!

Become its caretaker and angel.
We will then rally as a network to adopt the animal into a new home.

adopting an animal will complete any family

Our adoption criteria are strict, yet very simple.

• the adopter has at least one other animal

• the animal will live indoors only! Not in the yard, not on a tie-out, not in a garage, or a barn. It will live indoors as part of the adopters family.

• the animal will be fed a raw diet only. Your animal will be healthier, you will be happier, and you’ll save money in the long run, on cost of food and vet bills. More info can be found at http://rawlearning.com

• We do not apply an adoption fee. One can’t buy any Let’s Adopt! dog or cat.

• We believe that adopting an animal is a privilege, not mercy.

• The adopter will create a Facebook album with photos of the animal with its new family and updates.

These are our adoption rules in a nutshell.
Do you think you can handle it?
Have you been thinking of how in the world can you make a difference at these overcrowded pounds? Well, here is your chance to put your action where your heart is.

• Pull an animal.

• Then take it home, let it settle in,

let the dog or cat settle down for a few days

• take pictures and post it on the Let’s Adopt! USA page,

• Include all details you have about the animal:
• Age, temper, likes, dislikes, history (stray, dumped by owner, etc)

• We’ll campaign to get the animals adopted.

Do you realize that you will be saving TWO lives at once.
Not only will you be taking the one dog off death row, but another one will have a better chance, because there’s new cage space. And hopefully, you’ll inspire friends and family to do the same all over the country.
Perhaps concentrate on high kill facilities such as many municipal facilities in the South, from Florida, Georgia, the Carolinas – some pounds have a 90 (that’s NINETY) % kill rate.
Here’s where you can make a big difference.
There are many small groups that are willing to help you pull an animal and organize transport.
I will be listing some of these groups and links soon.
For now – please search your heart and decide whether you can open your home to a rescue this summer. I know you can and want to.

Let us help you figure out how and make it a reality. For the animals and for you.

We can potentially save hundreds of animals this summer. Are you with us?

Got Foster Dog?

Let’s start saving lives – one dog, one cat at the time.

BE The Change

  I love this idea! I just became a foster mom for two wonderful cats pulled from a high kill shelter in South Carolina. They will stay with me until a good home is found and then I plan on taking more. If every one could just take one or two animals, it would make such a big difference… every life saved is so precious.

    That’s wonderful, Anja.
    You are absolutely right, if everyone would just take ONE, ONE cat or kitten, ONE dog or puppy, one animal.
    If just ONE would take responsibility for ONE of these animals, our communities would become better places instantly.
    You’re inspiring. Be proud..and spread the word

  Done! I saved a puppy a few months ago. She was wounded, almost blind and very sick. She was going to die in a few days if she stayed in the shelter. So I took her home. She recovered and now she has become our second dog. She is a pleasure to have around (although my old dog is too jealous to agree!). We saved her life but we are certainly being rewarded for it. She is very funny and gives us a dose of endorphins every day. It is a way of saving our lives too!

    Silvia,
    you are what we lovingly refer to as a “foster failure”.
    It has happened to the best of us )
    I love what you wrote at the end of your note.
    “…It is a way of saving OUR lives too..”
    very very true

  Done Deal! We just rescued our little Maddie! She is between 7 and 8, a suspected Border Collie/Welsh Corgi mix. She is just adorable. She has been with us three days but she is blending right now. She has her own ‘bed’ in three different rooms. Our other dog has a new best friend! We can’t imagine not having this sweet little girl, and to think she was pulled out of the Kennel as she was being put on the short line to be euthanized! What a terrible tragedy to now have known our little Maddie girl. I hope she loves her ‘furever’ home, because we all love her, A LOT!
