Re: The Lost Dog & Cat Rescue Foundation
Here is my report on saving animal cause that I chose. I chose this topic because I love animals and this topic would be an interesting one to do. In the process of writing this report, I have learned a lot from what I read and came across. Too many animals are born and abandoned by their owners every day, resulting in over-crowded shelters. When a shelter reaches its full capacity to house and support these animals, it has no choice but to euthanize some of its animals to create room for new ones to come. This tragedy has made way for a new generation of shelter to rise: shelters that rescue animals from being euthanized in over-crowded shelters.
This report will be discussing specifically about the Lost Dog and Cat Rescue Foundation and what it does to pursuit its cause. The key to save the animals rests not with the shelters, but with future pet owners. If shelters can encourage more people to adopt and take care of pets, shelters will not have to face the over-crowded issue by killing its own animals.
Thank you for giving me the chance to work on this report. I enjoyed doing it. If you have any question or concern, you can always email me through my student email.

    This charity saves lives by showing their patients, either dog or human, that they are still loved no matter how lonely. Nonprofit charities are groups of devoted people and generous donators working together for the same cause. The Freedom Service Dogs of America is a foundation full of great people willing to donate their time for an amazing charitable body. Founded in 1987 by Michael and PJ Roche, the brothers strive for redemption of abandoned dogs and help for disabled people. Michael and PJ's idea was to rescue dogs and professionally train them for disabled people to make both the dog and person less lonely. Their charity saves about one-hundred dogs a year and have graduated three-hundred and fifty clients with their newly trained dogs.

    The not for profit company I have chosen for this assignment is the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. This company was founded in 1866 by Henry Bergh and was the first humane organization founded in the western hemisphere. Today, it is one of the largest humane organizations in the world. Their area of interest is nationwide with a focus to rescue animals from abuses, pass humane laws and share resources with shelters. The mission statement is “to provide effective means for the prevention of cruelty to animals throughout the United States.” Some of the activities they participate in include community outreach, animal health services, and anti-cruelty initiatives. The ASPC is privately funded, but also receives donations which are solicited in various ways like television commercials and online advertisements. The core values center around the belief “that animals were entitled to kind and respectful treatment at the hands of human and must be protected under the law.”…

    Why Donate to the ASPCA?

    According to dosomething.org “Each year, thousands of young and healthy Greyhounds are killed because they lack racing potential or have been injured while racing and are no longer competitive” (11 facts about animal cruelty). Sounds terrible, right? Well, there is an organization called the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, or ASPCA for short, that helps fight against that type of animal cruelty. The ASPCA was founded by Henry Bergh in 1866 (About the). Also, the ASPCA was also the first humane society to be established in North America and is also one of the largest humane societies. The ASPCA has authority to investigate and make arrests for animal cruelty. This organization would be a perfect place for someone to donate money to if they are looking to help out a charity. I believe that this is the perfect organization to donate to because they are always fighting against animal cruelty, such as violence, they help to stop puppy mills and they also fight to make animal testing illegal. This organization needs donations in order to stay up and going and to continue to rescue animals and keep them alive.…

    Although the equal rights of animals is in question, The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA) effectively advocates for the well-being of animals by providing health care assistance and legal advocacy, searching out the problem to find a solution that is potent, and rescuing them from danger. The ASPCA does compile available resources with intentions to better the lives of animals. Statistics substantiate that the numbers of animals entering shelters in a year's time does not counterpart with the number of animals leaving the shelter in the same year’s time. For this reason, the ASPCA sets out to not only find, but also to resolve the conflict. The organization has…

    “Not only is a no-kill shelter important, but providing low-cost solutions to spay/neuter pets. I talk with numerous owners who are grateful to hear of the spay/neuter clinics organized by Caldwell Humane Society and Angels for Animals which make being a responsible owner affordable,” states Wilcox in an email interview. “Animals should be born into homes of owners that have a plan for the rest of their life. There are many different reasons expressed by owners for allowing their animal to have babies. Many are unaware that spaying or neutering their pet is something that can be achieved with little effort and money. As the Animal Control numbers indicate, there are more animals born than can be adopted by responsible owners,” she explains. Spaying and neutering is an ideal resolution in terms of animal overpopulation in our county and, ultimately, will improve Caldwell County in more ways than one. Wilcox highlights some of these benefits. “Our children need to learn that life isn't to be thrown away,” she declares. “Pets need to be planned for realistically.” We want the future leaders of this county to not only grasp and accept this concept, but practice it and apply it to life. The respect for human life is exceedingly essential, so why should…

    An ongoing argument in the world of medicine concerns euthanasia and the right to die. There is an important distinction to make that will be useful later on in describing the difference between active euthanasia and physician assisted suicide, because they are not the same thing. Euthanasia, more specifically voluntary or active euthanasia, pertains to an intervention, such as lethal injection, requested by a mentally competent patient so as to precipitate death. Physician assisted suicide on the other hand is when a doctor prescribes a lethal dose of medicine that the terminally ill patient requests and ingests at their time of choice that will end their life (Scherer and Simon 13). Many arguments have been made as to why this should be legally permissible. Some say that it helps end one’s suffering. Others say that the act is abiding by doctor’s oath to help patients. Robert Young claims that it does not go against moral codes by stating, “It is sometimes morally permissible unintentionally to occasion harm despite the harm being foreseen, provided there is a sufficiently grave reason” (Young 84). On the contrary, legalizing active euthanasia is morally wrong, many physical complications almost always occur, and it goes against the Hippocratic Oath. For those reasons, we believe active euthanasia should not be legalized. This issue is pertinent in many people’s lives and if Euthanasia is legalized, it could lead to the de-valuation of human life.…

    * The APPC will be an animal shelter and rescue organization to create a “no kill” zone. This means the APPC does not euthanize healthy animals to control population. The APPC will advocate humane spay/neuter (S/N) programs for population control and reduce cruelty that arises from over population of stray dogs and cats. The APPC will provide educational material as well as S/N services. The APPC will S/N all adult dogs and cats in our care. For puppies and kittens adopted before the appropriate age, the APPC will take a deposit for S/N which we refund upon veterinary certification.…

    Foothills Animal Rescue is a vital and important addition to the community of Scottsdale, Arizona. Every year, in the United States alone, more than five million stray animals are admitted into animal shelters, and, sadly, of that number, five out of ten are destroyed from lack of adoption. Areas such as Phoenix, Arizona contribute significantly to these statistics. Maricopa County Animal Shelter, the major animal shelter for the Phoenix area, recorded receiving approximately 200 dogs and cats each day, and 50,000 animals each year. More than four of these animals are euthanized daily, simply because the facility does not have adequate accommodations for the growing population of strays. But Foothills Animal Rescue has committed to making a change for the better to these statistics; since 2010, the shelter has adopted out 618 cats and 552 dogs.…
