My name is Lauren Contino.I am not a licensed rescuer. I am a 501 (3) (C) as a Donation Center. I am a DBA STASTW and registered in Suffolk County New York. There are a lot of animal lovers and animal rescuers who work tirelessly across the country to help save animals -- particularly dogs and cats. Why do we need another "Save The Animals" web site? Because it costs money to save animals from kill shelters. And so many rescuers have cannot afford to save more animals. In fact that they are licensed to retrieve animals who are on kill lists.
I just cannot sit idle and do nothing while so many animals are hurt, neglected, and killed. My heart simply breaks every time I see a horrible news story about an animal who has been so horrible
mistreated, neclected and abandoned. The animal doesn't know that a human hand can be kind. It is estimate that up to 1 million pits are euthanized per year, or 2,800 per day… [and] some estimates are up to double that number.” There are 3 to 5 million Pit Bulls in the United States and shelters around the country are overwhelmed with lack of space and money to fund their care. PITBULLS that have been needlessly killed simply because of their breed. Know one was able to rescue them in time. So I decided that I wanted to try to DO SOMETHING to make a difference.
Alone, we may not be able to do much. But together, we can make a HUGE difference in their lives of these animals. It costs approximately $500 to save a dog from euthenasia. My goal with this web site is to allow each of us to donate what we can. We can FUND A RESCUE, one animal at a time, one emergency at a time. We can make this site successful and spread the word. We can begin to fund rescues countrywide. When a rescuer gets a call, we can come to THEIR rescue so they have the money to do what they do best... SAVE THE ANIMALS.
