Saint Louis County Pet Adoption <\/strong><\/h1>\n

Center Announces New Charitable Foundation <\/strong><\/h1>\n

\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

The Saint Louis County Pet Adoption Center is excited to announce the launch of a new charitable foundation in support of the shelter. Friends of the St. Louis County Animal Shelter Foundation will now serve as the official nonprofit partner of the Saint Louis County Pet Adoption Center.<\/p>\n

The foundation, with a mission of \u201cproviding animal shelter support by bridging<\/p>\n

the gap between public funds and the necessary resources needed to care for,<\/p>\n

protect, and enhance the lives of animals who arrive at the County\u2019s Animal Care<\/p>\n

and Control and Pet Adoption Center in need of assistance,\u201d will play a crucial role<\/p>\n

in supporting shelter operations.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe couldn\u2019t be more excited to announce this new partnership and are very<\/p>\n

grateful for the support.\u201d, said Director of Public Health and Special Advisor to the<\/p>\n

foundation, Dr. Kanika Cunningham. \u201cTogether, we will continue to ensure high<\/p>\n

quality care for all animals in the shelter and continue to raise public awareness<\/p>\n

about the animal welfare crisis affecting our community.\u201d<\/p>\n

As the foundation\u2019s first project, the Saint Louis County Pet Adoption Center will<\/p>\n

host the first \u201cBe a Friend; Save a Life, Help Another\u201d adoption event this<\/p>\n

weekend.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs one of the first volunteers after County took over the shelter, I\u2019ve personally<\/p>\n

seen how long stays in the shelter can have a negative impact on our pets,\u201d said<\/p>\n

Sara Foster, President of the Foundation. \u201cOur goal with this event is to create<\/p>\n

excitement and interest in our wonderful pets and find loving homes for all of our<\/p>\n

friends, especially those who have been here the longest or who simply get<\/p>\n

overlooked in a crowded shelter, all while supporting pets and pet owners in need<\/p>\n

aound the community.\u201d<\/p>\n

D uring the event, happening Saturday, March 21 and Sunday, March 22 at the Pet<\/p>\n

Adoption Center in Olivette, board members of the Friends of the St. Louis County<\/p>\n

Animal Shelter Foundation will be onsite to sponsor the adoption fees of 100 pets.<\/p>\n

Adopters are encouraged to bring a donation of pet food to stock the shelter\u2019s<\/p>\n

community pet food pantry or make a monetary donation to the foundation. By<\/p>\n

adopting and donating, community members truly can save one pet\u2019s life while<\/p>\n

helping another in need.<\/p>\n
