St. Animal Pet Adoptions aka SAPA is a nonprofit organization dedicated to local strays and surrenders in finding forever homes and a family to love them as they should be loved. We also work on educating people about the breeds The St. Animal Pet Adoptions vision is to fulfill our mission statement to increase the number of adoptions and to start an education program. The vision is to have a pet adoption program up and running immediately with obtaining our 501(c)3 status within one year of the date of inception. To bring the number of adoptable animals sent to a kill shelter to zero. To enclose the area next to the shelter to give the animals kept in the pound a place to exercise. To start an education program to help, not only educate regarding spay/neuter and the no kill method; but to instill the importance of advocacy for something you believe in, and volunteering for your community. Reduce the number of animals euthanized by re-homing more animals and increasing the adoption rate in our community. Educate the community on adequate care and control of their pets with emphasis on the importance of spaying/neutering their pets and staying up to date on the vaccinations.

Rescued Tails rescues animals from local animal control facilities as well as high-kill shelters. We tend to specialize in animals that get overlooked due to their age, breed, and/or temperament. Some of our animals live in foster homes and our long-term residents live at our small sanctuary. We believe that each individual life is valuable and will do what is necessary to ensure a successful outcome for every animal.

In addition, I am a member of Pets & People Alliance, an organization begun about 12 years ago by the present mayor to assist the shelter through fund raising that enables the City shelter to expand their assistance to animals. PPA is made up primarily of City employees, with other interested parties.
