Progress .... Not Perfection A rural pet overpopulation journey that is working. Key phrase - - “is working”. Peaceful Animal Adoption Shelter opened in 2015. Within 3 months, all 50 kennels were full and there were 150 owner surrenders waiting in line. People were dumping dogs over the fence. Frustrated owners were calling, screaming obscenities and demanding we accept the unwanted litter, and dogs they no longer wanted…. You name it – we heard the reason. And only a few walked through the door and actually adopted a dog and didn’t return it. By Dec 2020, only 100 dogs needed to find homes out-of-state and 3,500 pets had been fixed. Today – 2024. The municipal shelter has relocated to the PAAS building. The building is now owned by the city. Here are some numbers: 87 intakes since Oct 2023. 7 behavior euthanasia’s. 2 transported within state. No out-of-state transport.** 14 returned to owners. 46 adopted. For the public, since Feb 2024, 126 spay/neuters and 334 Vaccines. 63 citizens utilized the pet food pantry. The journey from 2015 to 2020 included a steep learning curve and change of direction for the PAAS shelter staff and support. That laid the groundwork for where they are today. Lessons learned - - sooo many - - stay tuned for next installment in a few weeks. Lessons to take away? #1) Rescue is a tax-exempt business. It takes money to run a business. #2) Upfront investment can lead to a manageable yearly expenditure. #3) All politics are local …. You can apply these lessons to rescues in rural communities. **University of Oklahoma Center for Applied Social Research study validated in 2021, 54 Oklahoma rescues sent 24,385 dogs out-of-state. Miss Ruby was PAAS first rescue. #animalshelter #rescue #spayneuter #ruralOklahoma #taxexempt #transition #petadoption #progress #collaboration #SocialResearch

Are you considering the idea of welcoming a new four-legged companion into your household? Adopting a pet is a fantastic way to introduce happiness and affection into your home. Pay a visit to your nearby animal shelter or rescue center to discover the ideal furry friend eagerly awaiting their forever family. By choosing adoption, you not only gain a new member of the family but also offer a deserving animal a fresh start at a joyful life. Help spread the message and inspire others to think about adoption as well! 🐾 When you adopt a pet, you are not just bringing an animal into your home; you are gaining a loyal and loving friend. These animals often come from difficult backgrounds, and by opening your heart and home to them, you are providing them with a second chance at happiness. Consider the countless benefits of adopting a rescue pet. Not only will you be saving a life, but you will also be reducing the demand for animals from breeders. Rescue pets are often already spayed or neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped, saving you time and money on these essential services. Additionally, by adopting, you are supporting the incredible work of animal shelters and rescue organizations in your community. Spread awareness about the importance of adoption and encourage your friends and family to choose adoption when looking for their next furry companion. Every pet that finds a loving home through adoption is a success story that deserves to be celebrated. Together, we can make a difference in the lives of these deserving animals. 🐾 #AdoptDontShop #RescuePets #KusudiLa #Passion #Nature #Outdoors #Cause

UNLOCK A WORLD OF LOVE AND SECOND CHANCES - that’s why you should rescue and adopt !! Why rescue and adoption? Because every life deserves a chance to be loved and cherished! Your help will break the cycle of pet overpopulation! It's not just about saving lives; it's about the incredible bond you build with a furry friend who becomes family. Did you know that foster families for animals are often called ‘pawsite influencers’ because they play a crucial role in helping these pets find their forever homes? Let’s discuss! 🐶 1. Choosing a substantial way of life When you rescue or adopt, we do not just bring home a furry companion, we are giving a second chance to a homeless or abandoned dog. Our choice saves not just one, but two lives—the one we adopt and the one who takes their place at the shelter. 2. Considering Economical Alternative Adopting a pet is frequently less expensive than buying a pet. This cost cutting technique allows you to put your money where it counts - on building a comfortable and welcoming home for your new furry friend. 3. Fostering community Rescue and adoption isn't just about animals; it's about fostering a sense of community. It brings together people who share a common goal - to create a safer, more loving world for our furry friends. 4. Creation of aggregate influence Beyond the personal rewards, our decision has a global impact. It reduces the demand for commercial breeding and helps combat the issue of pet overpopulation. 5. You won’t be supporting backyard breeders Many dogs are forced to breed as often as possible and kept under cruel conditions in puppy farms. By choosing to adopt, you are avoiding these organisations and supporting animal welfare in the process. Together, we can inspire change and create a world where every animal gets the love and care it deserves. Let’s not make choices, Let’s make differences! #enactus #enactusindia #projectdesi #enactusmlnc #adoption #savelives

Nearly 1.5 million innocent shelter animals are euthanized every year in the United States. Adopting a shelter pet can not only give them a better life but also truly improve yours and provide you with unconditional love and companionship. Studies have shown that owning a pet can have numerous health benefits, including reduced stress, lower blood pressure, increased physical activity, and improved mental well-being. The three beautiful dogs in this video live a life full of endless, unconditional love, have their individual needs met daily, and enjoy perpetual pampering. However, that is not where they began. They each were adopted from separate shelter lives, one being saved from an environment filled with severe neglect, cruelty, inhumane treatment and torture that lead to an appalling number of fatalities and recently became known as the largest animal cruelty case in Ohio. Imagine the sense of fulfillment that would come from rescuing an innocent life from such an environment and then seeing them flourish from providing them with a life filled with safety, love, and well-being. With that said, when animals' lives begin with uncertainty, fear, lack of socialization, and inadequate environments, it takes patience for them to find comfort and settle into their new home. Our all-natural hemp-infused pet tincture and treats provide a gentle touch to help calm anxieties that often occur in these situations. We are so pleased to be a helping hand in Denise H's pet adoption story. If you have the ability to provide a lifelong home including any and all needs for a shelter pet, consider adoption. Cedar Valley Farms pet line offers a natural aid to help them settle into the life they were meant to have! #adoptashelterpetday #AdoptAShelterPetDay #shelterpets #pets #dogs #cats #animalshelter #humanesociety #rescue #adopt

We are proud to announce that we have selected our 2024 #Sponsorship Partner to aid in our goal of neutering 100 cats this year... PETS JHB - Pet Empowerment in Townships. 🙌 #DidYouKnow: By spaying and neutering just one male and one female feral cat, you can prevent more than 2 million (yes, million) unwanted births over eight years PETS is a PRO-LIFE, PRO-ACTIVE Animal rescue organisation who visit townships to help and assist where possible. They will be the driving force to trap, neuter, and release 100 feral cats back to their habitat. This will gradually reduce the number of feral cats by preventing them from breeding, thereby reducing the feral colony sizes.

Millions of animals enter animal shelters and rescue organizations every year. Many of these animals are euthanized because they don't find homes. That's why pet adoption is so important.

You're saving a life. 2. You're supporting your local shelter or rescue organization. 3. You're helping to reduce the number of animals euthanized in shelters. 4. You're getting a loving and loyal companion. 5. You're teaching your children about responsibility and compassion. If you're thinking about getting a pet, please consider adoption.

"Lessons We Can Learn from Our Furry Friends this Independence Day 🐾🇮🇳 As we celebrate our nation's independence, let's take a moment to reflect on the valuable lessons our four-legged companions teach us every day. Just like our pets and street animals, we can find inspiration and wisdom in their actions: 1. Unity in Diversity: Our pets come in all shapes, sizes, and breeds, reminding us of the strength that comes from embracing diversity. 2. Unconditional Love: From wagging tails to gentle purring, our pets show us the power of genuine affection, teaching us to love without conditions. 3. Resilience: Many street animals display remarkable resilience in the face of adversity, reminding us that challenges can be overcome with determination. 4. Empathy: Pets have an uncanny ability to sense our emotions and provide comfort. Let's learn from them and practice empathy towards our fellow humans. 5. Living in the Present: Pets excel at enjoying the present moment. In our fast-paced lives, they remind us to savor each moment and be mindful. 6. Responsibility: Caring for a pet comes with responsibilities. This Independence Day, let's remember our responsibility towards our environment and the animals we share it with. 7. Community Support: Many street animals rely on the support of communities. Similarly, we can achieve great things when we come together to uplift each other. 8. Loyalty: Our pets show unwavering loyalty to us. Let's reciprocate by being loyal to our principles and values. 9. Adaptability: Whether it's a new environment or a change in routine, pets show us how to adapt and thrive in different situations. 10. Giving Back: Just like pet shelters and animal welfare organizations, let's remember to give back to our society and help those in need. This Independence Day, let's honor our nation by imbibing these qualities into our lives. As we celebrate freedom, may we also celebrate the wisdom that animals bring to our existence. Happy Independence Day! 🇮🇳🐾 #IndependenceDay #PetWisdom #LessonsFromAnimals"
