Animal Aid Foundation is a volunteer-based, charitable fundraising organization. The Foundation does not have paid staff and does not receive government funding. It relies on volunteer contributions, public donations and corporate support.
Animal Aid Foundation raises funds for local animal charities through special events, public donations and corporate support.
What is Animal Aid Foundation’s mission?
Animal Aid Foundation’s mission is to address the issue of animal overpopulation and homeless animals by financially supporting the rescue, spay/neuter and veterinary medical care programs of local animal charities.
Animal overpopulation, caused by pets that are left un-spayed and
un-neutered as well as puppy mills, has created a crisis in our community. Our streets and alleys are home to hundreds of unwanted cats. And thousands of unwanted cats and dogs are sitting in shelters waiting to be adopted. Over-breeding results in homeless animals being confined to cages or euthanized simply because there is not enough room for them all.

Animal Aid Foundation is not-for-profit, fundraising organization.
Our mission is to address the issue of animal overpopulation and homeless pets by financially supporting the projects and activities of local animal charities. Our priority areas of funding are rescue, spay/neuter, veterinary medical care and adoption programs.
Spay or neuter your pets. One un-spayed female cat with its offspring can produce 420,000 cats in only seven years. In just under seven years, one un-spayed female dog and her offspring can produce 67,000 dogs. Be part of the solution. Please spay and neuter your pets.
Adopt your next pet from an animal rescue group or a city-run shelter. If there is no demand for pet store animals, breeders will stop over-breeding animals for financial gain.
Foster an animal. Open your heart and your home. Foster an animal that has been rescued off the streets, provide a temporary home and help get it ready for adoption.
Become a volunteer. Support a cause you believe in. Meet new people and make new friends. Feel the personal satisfaction of helping animals. Volunteer with Animal Aid Foundation.
