Do you have a story and photo you would like to share about your OPR adopted pup or dog? We're looking for some laughs, maybe some tears, how they have changed your life, how they have touched your heart. We will post your photo on our home page and story to the Your OPR Adoption Story page to share with all of our visitors. Maybe, just maybe, you'll inspire someone to share their life with a homeless dog. Please send a photo and your story to: OhioPuppyRescue@aol.com
Your Donations Help Support Our Community Projects
2011 was a year of great success and impact on the community through Ohio Puppy Rescue.
*****We expanded the Ohio Puppy Rescue Spay/Neuter Fund to include partnership with Pikes Friends, Pike Co. Humane Association, Shawnee Animal Hospital, Animal Shelter Society and Noah's Ark Veterinary Hospital to provide free spay and neutering. Our efforts have now opened up a "no questions asked" service to six Counties in Ohio for those who wish to have their dog altered.
*****We work with and financially support both Pilots N Paws and Animal Rescue Flights. These 501(c)(3) organizations support volunteer pilots who assist with transporting rescues from all over the country.
*****We continued our educational program at the elemtary school level in the Columbus area, which focus on puppy mills and the drive to spay and neuter pets. We celebrate the education of over 3000 students. It is our belief that the youth of our country are the ones who will bring an end to puppy mills and request a "Pay It Forward" commitment from all who attend the presentation. This means that over 6000 people will learn that Pets Are Not Products in 2011 alone!
*****We provided financial support to Chances Angel Rescue & Education (C.A.R.E.) in North Carolina to help defer medical costs and assist in their efforts to eliminate the use of gas chambers in the Person County Shelter.
*****We donated three pet recovery oxygen mask kits to three local fire departments
In order to continue our efforts in supporting our community, the rescue community, and the pet over population, additional funding is required. We need continuous and generous donations in order to sustain our life-changing work into 2012 and future years. Please consider a donation to enable our work to continue. Donations can be made by adopting one of our wonderful rescues or directly by sending a gift through PayPal. If you wish to send a check, please contact us via email for a mailing address.
