This time of the year is for reflection of things we
thankful for. The officers, members, and other volunteers of FOPCP are THANKFUL for YOU! Because of support from our community, FOPCP is able to make a
difference in the lives of cats and dogs in and around Powell County.
We have helped thousands
of man’s best friends since 2007. We are so glad to still be going strong into
2012. FOPCP is run solely by volunteers and 100% of donations and grant monies
received goes towards the cats and dogs we help – vaccinations, transporting to
no-kill shelters, emergency vet visits, well-care vet visits, food for foster
and pound animals, spay/neuter clinic supplies, spay/neuter scholarships,
dewormer, heart worm, and other medicines, and much more.
Over the past year, we have been able to help 202 cats and
dogs escape a life (and death) in the Pound – 116 of those went to no-kill shelters in the US or Canada, 55 were pulled as foster animals, and we intercepted 31
animals to find homes or foster families so they wouldn’t have to go to the
Pound at all.
At our spay/neuter clinics this year, 162 cats
and dogs were altered. This means for each pet altered, for the remainder of
their lives having only 1 litter a year, we prevented the unwanted birth of
approximately 1,000 kittens and puppies each
year. These puppies and kittens have been spared a life (and death) from
the Pound or on the streets. We would like to especially acknowledge our
partners for these clinics: Woodstock Animal Foundation (Lexington), the
Stanton Fire Department, and Clay City Elementary School. Without them, these
clinics would not be possible in our county.
Plus we started a financial assistance program to help low-income families spay/neuter their pets! Our PAL program has given our community the power to control the animal population. And funds are still available for 2012!
Together, we have made a difference in Powell County. We
look forward to continuing to make our county a safer and healthier place to
live by promoting responsible pet ownership through spay/neuter, vaccinations,
and rescuing animals from the Pound. It has been an amazing year. We cannot wait to see what 2012 will bring!
Thank you and I know that all the animals you have helped to rescue Thank you from their hearts just as I do, no animal should have to be abused, live in poor conditions in this day and time and I know that God will bless you all for your hard work, again Thank you.
