The Future of Animal Rescue - The National Rehabilitation Center for Animals



As the League nears its centennial in 2014, we will begin a capital campaign to build the rehabilitation facility that homeless animals so desperately need. It will become the National Rehabilitation Center for Animals. And even more than that. As we’ve done so many times in the past, we’ll be building a new future both for animals in our own community, and for animals suffering from the abuses of hoarders, dog fighters, and puppy mill operators all over the country.

And, given the lessons this turbulent spring taught us, the Center will also become a safe haven for the tragic animal victims of the more and more frequent natural disasters around the country.

But our primary focus will always be on our own community. We know we have work to do right here in our own backyard. We must ensure that we will still—and forever—be able to support the local community: animal guardians in our own neighborhoods, as well as partner shelters in the area who may need our assistance. We want them to know that we will always be here to help them with overcrowding and medical assistance.

The same goes for our low-income veterinary clients. The new Center will allow us to offer more much-needed low-cost services for the local community. Something that is so desperately needed, especially with an economy that seems to refuse to improve.

I got this in an email from the Washington Area Rescue League in DC. This is the league where I got my cat from almost three years ago. This looks great. They already send teams around the country to rescue pets from puppy mills and natural disasters. They've even rescued dogs from Kuwait. I think it's awesome that they're now turning into the NATIONAL animal rescue center.

5. definitely
and if there is any shelter that can pull this off, it's them. They're always having fundraisers to tap into the DC elite, lol.
