WE NEED SPONSORS FOR PROJECT SNIP

We have NO funding for the spaying and neutering of felines and are hoping some local organizations can help us continue this very important part of the program. We need to continue this program to help reduce the large number of homeless and unwanted cats and kittens. If you or your organization can help us, please call and we will be happy to answer all your questions. Please support S.N.I.P. (Spay and Neuter Interior's Pets).

Loving Companions Animal Rescue, Incorporated is a non-profit corporation created to save and care for unwanted, abandoned animals in the interior of the State of Alaska. All our staff are volunteers who receive no pay, work many hours to help the community and promote a better life for animals and offer the community an alternative to killing unwanted pets.

We are an organization designed to save from destruction those usually older pets that have become hard to place because of their age or disabilities. These once great pets and friends are no longer wanted by the general population. We strive to give them a warm, comfortable home and try to place them with a new family that will have the ability and desire to care for such an animal. We will strive to maintain comfortable surroundings for those animals that cannot be placed to insure they are able to live out their natural life.

Our goal is to work with shelters, humane organizations, and other rescue organizations to build a network of animal organizations to sponsor and develop a no-kill community for the Interior and Far North Regions of Alaska and to provide a network of volunteers and coordination to develop solutions and strategies for the community.

We desire to create a new world for homeless pets, support and manage a low cost spay and neuter program, set up a system of foster homes and maintain a flexible adoption program.

We are always in need of:

1. VOLUNTEERS
2. DONATIONS:
   Pet food (fresh knuckle bones, freezer burnt meat, canned meat -- and fish, dry or canned milk, dog, and cat treats)
   Pet supplies (large dog crates, houses, carriers, leashes, collars)
   Funds for medical costs and medicine.
3. MEMBERS
4. FOSTER FAMILIES
   

HUNTERS: Please don't throw your bones or meat scraps away, put them to good use and donate them to help feed the dogs. We will pick up the items, just call us at 347-4829.

The greater Fairbanks area is blessed with many great animals, caring animal owners, and groups that help animals in need. However, we have little information about our community's animals to help us understand what assistance they most need and to get grant funding to meet that need. Many of us in the animal rescue/caring owner community have long talked about gathering information about how many dogs we have in our community, how many are spayed or neutered, and the most common reasons that people have to give up dogs. By understanding this, we may be able to develop, modify, or strengthen current programs that help our animals. So, we have developed the attached survey to gather this information.

The data gathered from these surveys will be shared with the FNSB Animal Control Commission, local rescue groups, and anyone else requesting the data. We have kept this survey short in the hopes that more people will be willing to take it. Therefore, there will by MANY questions that you and others wish had been asked. Please send them to InteriorAlaskaAnimals@gmail.com and if we conduct another survey, we will consider including them.

So, please take this survey and forward it on to your network of friends, family, and colleagues. The more people that respond, the more accurate our results. Please embed it in your website and encourage people to participate.
