S.P.A.R.E.

I would rather not give this place any stars! I found a little kitten and she was in very bad condition and she was extremely young! I wanted to keep her but I just couldn’t afford to get her emergency medical care! I did some research and got the number to this place. I called them and gave them a detailed description about her condition and I wanted to make sure she was going to be taken care of and nursed to health. I was assured she would see a vet that would be able to help as soon as she got to the shelter. I took her over there. They barely looked at her and as I was giving them up I asked them what they believed was going to happen to her they assured me she was going to be just fine. I took down her ID number so that I can tell friends and family about her in hopes of giving her a good home when she was healthier. I called later that night to check on her and they had told me she had been put down! I asked why and I was told that they put young animals down when they are too young to be away from their mothers! I Double checked to make sure she wasnt put down because she was in great pain or she was very ill but they said no that it was simply because she was too young. I was extremely upset because I asked several times if she was going to be given a chance and they told me she would be fine! If I would have known this would happen to her I would have kept her instead and figured out a way to get her some help! She was only 5 weeks old and she wasn’t even given a chance! I am extremely disappointed in our county’s animal protection care. Every animal should be cared for and given a chance at finding a good home! I am heartbroken at the thought of what happened to her! These people are heartless and don’t care for the animals at all.

Three stray dogs were left tied up to a fence on the other side of the wall from my house. Say they had NO FOOD WATER or SHELTER, when i went to take a look and drop off water and a little food, noticed one of the dogs had buried itself in anhold to die. After i managed to get the deceased dog picked up i Called this organization and even though it Took a couple days, it was totally worth it to call them! the other two were rescues and now are ready to get spruced up so they can find loving homes.

I opened the latest issue of my local paper, ‘The Beach Reporter’, to a 3-​page spread of color photos of almost 50 real estate brokers posed with shelter animals awaiting adoption. There are, among others, a Maltese, cocker spaniel, great dane, corgi, husky (gorgeous), chihuahua, rottweiler, schnauzer, shepherds, labs, cats & kittens, and a bunny! The realtors are helping S.P.A.R.E., which stands for ‘Save Pound Animals through Rescue and Education’. This is a volunteer organization working at the Carson, CA animal shelter. One of their goals is to improve the living conditions of animals awaiting adoption. They need blankets, towels, pet food, grooming items, treats, toys, time, skill, money, and love. They recycle inkjet & toner cartridges as well as cell phones to help raise money for the amimals and help planet Earth! Wow! They have created
to assist owners in locating lost pets and to provide photos of adoptable pets online. Bravo and may the Force be with you!
