Did you know…
Approximately 6.5 million companion animals enter shelters nationwide annually
1.5 million (1 in 4) don’t make it out of the shelter alive
At least 1,376 companion animals were euthanized in Greene County alone in 2017
…and so on, and so on, and so on.
This is clearly a problem – a problem we will not accept – and we have a plan in place to attack the problem directly at its source: The C.A.R.E. Pet Services Center. The innovative Pet Services Center will provide a full-service veterinary clinic, grooming, pet training, community education, food pantry assistance, emergency services, and other pet retention services to low-income families and seniors. The goal of the Pet Services Center will be to reduce owner surrenders, ultimately decreasing the number of animals abandoned in shelters and keeping them in loving homes.
The C.A.R.E. Pet Services Center will not have a shortage of programs and services provided, including but (definitely) not limited to:
Cage-free pet adoptions
K-9 training and behavioral consultation
Grooming facilities
Full-service veterinary facility
Food pantry and cooperative
Humane education
Administrative offices
…and so much more!
We already own the building that will one day be the C.A.R.E. Pet Services Center. It’s located in southwest Springfield. However, we have a long road ahead of us as we mold this office building into the perfect Pet Services Center…the renovation alone is going to cost an estimated $750,000. This is not a small undertaking, but we are one step closer. A very generous private benefactor has agreed to match all funds raised up to $500,000. So, assuming we raise $500,000, that automatically is actually $1,000,000!
We kicked off our official capital campaign for the building on April 25, 2019, with the Red CAREpet Gala, where we raised over $19,000 (so $38,000 with matching funds)! It was an amazing evening, including drinks, food, music, silent and live auctions, and the commencement of C.A.R.E.'s vision for the future...not to mention our special guests, Sheriff Arnott, Deputy Craigmyle, K9 Lor, Leigh Moody, Diskey the Wonder Dog, and Jecobie Roberts. We’re so thrilled with how things went that we’ve decided to make this an annual event. We’re in the early planning stages for 2020. We’ll be announcing a date soon, so stay tuned!
Thank you so much to all of our sponsors and supporters for making the 2019 Gala a possibility, including Café Cusco, Van Gogh’s Eeterie, Hood-Rich Architecture, Mid-Missouri Bank, Mother’s Brewing Company, Tame Pet Magazine, Lancaster Station, Mudhouse Coffee, Greens, Springfield Yellow Cab Company, BluCurrent Credit Union, Brad Bradshaw MD JD LC, Eda and Guy Bates, Downstream Casino, the Killuminati Foundation, the 150 attendees, and 57 auction item donors!

There’s been a lot of information to sort through on this subject, so I’m glad I found this article. It also prompted me to read more about cognito upper control arms from SuspensionLifts.com. I found the additional research quite interesting and helpful.
Slik jeg ser det er en bonus en betinget fordel og ikke gratis midler. Banneret ser enkelt ut, men det er vilkårene som styrer hva som faktisk kan brukes. Den som vil ha oversikt kan se flere detaljer og sammenligne med egne forutsetninger. I praksis handler det først om hvilken type fordel som tilbys og hva som kreves for å aktivere den. Et innskuddsmatch kan gi hundre prosent ekstra saldo, gratisspinn er knyttet til et bestemt automatspill, og cashback fører tilbake en andel av registrert nettotap. Ingen av variantene sier i seg selv noe om kvaliteten på vilkårene, så jeg leser alltid hele kampanjesiden før jeg vurderer noe. Min holdning er å gå rolig fram, kontrollere reglene selv og unngå raske…
This is one of the better tutorials I've come across recently. Instead of making things complicated, you explained every step in a simple and practical way. After following your guide, I was able to use pin download successfully within a few minutes. Thank you for sharing accurate and useful information that saves people time.
I appreciate the dedication to helping animals. I also enjoy playing Street Fighter II. Great work!
