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!

See you at the 2020 Gala!
Spent some time looking into how USDT-based platforms actually function. The mechanics are fairly standard — you connect a wallet, select USDT at the cashier, and transactions move through the blockchain within minutes. No waiting several business days like with traditional methods. I checked tethercasino.org briefly and the technical side seemed consistent with what you'd expect from a stablecoin setup. One USDT holds its peg to the dollar, which removes the volatility concern most crypto users deal with. The process is transparent enough if you understand how blockchain confirmations work. Nothing groundbreaking, just a cleaner transfer mechanism than legacy banking. Worth understanding the structure before committing anything. Approach with reasonable caution regardless.
This is a helpful article with simple explanations and good structure. instagram reels download is something many people are interested in, and the topic is covered nicely here. I enjoyed reading it and found the information easy to follow from beginning to end.
I blander tingene fuldstændig sammen her i tråden. Diskussionen om databaseret udelukkelse overser helt de reelle protokolmæssige ændringer i 2026. Det rent tekniske aspekt ved uregulerede eksterne servere og den totale mangel på direkte API synkronisering mod de nationale registre ændrer risikoprofilen for slutbrugeren fundamentalt. Hvis man tjekker den ret uoverskuelige tabel hos https://www.leadership.ng/gambling/dk/betting-sider-uden-rofus/ odds sider uden om ROFUS ser man hvordan operatører med en Curacao licens helt bevidst kører uden om de vante sikkerhedsnet. Systemet opererer helt udenom de kendte blokeringslister hvilket fjerner den automatiske forbrugerbeskyttelse og ændrer den juridiske struktur bag platformene markant. Man bør altid foretage en kold databaseret risikovurdering og nærlæse vilkårene med stor skepsis.
I’ve been searching for information like this for quite a while, and this article finally explained the topic in a simple way. I also spent time learning more about DiFFreight Logistics services and found several interesting details related to shipping and logistics solutions.
I genuinely enjoyed the relaxed and thoughtful tone of this article. It explains fashion in a way that feels realistic instead of overly polished or exaggerated. Trapstar connects perfectly with this kind of modern mindset through styles that feel effortless, expressive, and easy to carry with confidence.
