Since 1993, the Friends For
the Dearborn Animal Shelter have been care givers and advocates for the
animals. Although we operate the Dearborn Animal Shelter under
contract to the City of Dearborn, we depend upon donations for over 80%
of our annual operating income. These generous donations have
resulted in our being able to find loving homes for all our adoptable
animals for the past seven years and also for numerous community service
programs such as low-cost spay neuter and microchip clinics. The
animals sincerely paws-itively appreciate your support.
If you
had a perfect pearl, would you just throw it away? That's what happened
to one newborn kitten and her 4 brothers and sisters. Someone thought
they weren't worth much. To us, though, each one was precious---like
a gem.
Pearl and
her 4 siblings, Persephone, Pinocchio, Picasso, and Pretzel, were
discovered by a kind Samaritan who brought them to the shelter in
early August.
They found
a cozy home with us and a foster mama named Queen Frostine. Queenie
had just finished nursing her own little ones and gladly opened
her paws to take in the motherless babies.
Newborns,
like this fearless 5-some, are in our care for at least 8 weeks
until they are strong and healthy and ready to go home with their
families. It takes more than TLC, though. The cost to help a pearl
shimmer: $92!
Your tax-deductible
gift will be greatly appreciated and may be made in any one of the
following ways that is most convenient for you.
