We ended 2018 doing 519 adoptions, but 696 intakes (2nd straight year of intakes in the 690s). We are currently housing about 350 animals, but our adoptable inventory is quite low (good and bad) right now. This is why a rescue needs to have a business plan and be able to rely on other revenue streams -- it is not about the money, but as (to our knowledge) the only rescue in the United States that operates on a humane society model (set hours where the public can view adoptable animals at a facility with a small retail sales area) we have to pay the rent and utilities (electric alone was $1255 last month). We were non profit exhibitors at Tinley in October and will be back in March, so please stop by and say hello. October Tinley crew is pictured.
