Mission
Thousands of cats and dogs will arrive at local animal shelters this year. Some will be lost with no way to identify their owners, others will have been "dumped" by desperate or uncaring people. Many will be the result of unplanned litters. Homes will be found for only a small percentage of these animals.
As disturbing as this situation is, the greater tragedy is that much of it can be avoided. Three simple steps can help save the lives of countless animals, yet many pet owners are unaware of their importance or unable to afford them.
First, pets should be spayed or neutered. This would not only help to reduce the number of unwanted animals our shelters receive each year, but would also help to insure longer, healthier lives for those pets altered.
Second, pets should always wear I.D. tags. Without them, there is no way to locate the owner when a stray pet is found.
Third, each adoption from an animal shelter gives a homeless pet a second chance. Don't breed, don't buy - adopt!
Faire's overall mission is to provide education and services that help the pets, pet owners, and animal shelters in our community. One of our primary goals is to help pet owners understand the need for pet population control and responsible pet ownership. Our other goal is to increase adoptions and reduce the need for euthanasia at our local animal shelters.
