| The first step
is to raise $40,000 for the plans and the feasibility study.
The new shelter will house both KCASE and KHS and have a
training area where the Kalamazoo Dog Training Club (KDTC) can
offer classes to the public. Working together we can
bring down the animal overpopulation in Kalamazoo County
through low income spay/neuter clinics put on by KHS, and
lower the number of discarded animals through educational
training by the KDTC. Kalamazoo Animal Rescue (KAR) will
have office space within the facility to help with the
adoptions and rescues of hard to place animals. KHS will
assist KCASE by altering the adoptable animals before they
leave the shelter. Like
the Kalamazoo Promise, this will be another first in the
country for Kalamazoo County. Nowhere else has anyone
brought government and non profit animal organizations
together under one roof to deal with a community's animal
problems in a proactive way. We are proud of this plan
and feel this project will draw people from all over the
country to see our leading edge facility and the cooperation
between so many groups working together to help our
community's animals.
We
are asking for your help to make this dream a reality by
donating to KHS and the new shelter fund. We do not want
to burden the tax payers with another new tax. We
believe that there are enough citizens in this community who
care about the way we treat our animals here, that we can
raise the needed funds through individual and corporate
donations.
If you would like to see a
shelter where the animals that come through its doors are
given a comfortable and healthy environment to stay in, and
are given a better opportunity to find their owners or a new
and loving home, please donate to this important cause. |
