We have entered the Aviva Community Fund competition!
We have a chance to win $50,000!!
http://www.avivacommunityfund.org/ideas/acf13908
We have three initiatives:
(1) Removing/rehoming unwanted pets: To date for 2012, approximately 170 animals have been rescued from the communities we work in - all are spayed/neutered and receive full vet care. All animals are fostered until adopted. We are a no-kill rescue.
(2) Responsible pet ownership education: We are actively involved in educating the general public about responsible pet ownership including the importance of spaying/neutering. We also provide handouts covering food selection, shelter requirements, the effects of chaining and animal abuse, dog aggression and behavior, the benefits of spaying/neutering, and many other topics.
(3) Spay/neuter initiatives: All animals adopted through Rescue for Life are spayed/neutered. We also provide discounted spay/neuter procedures to families in the communities we work in. In addition, we have completed spay/neuter clinics and are currently planning mini clinics with our veterinary partners. If we can raise the funds our goal is to purchase a spay/neuter van that can provide on-site veterinary care in these rural communities.
Please vote for us, and share the link with your friends!
You can vote once a day, every day!

Keep an eye on the event page for some examples of the tattoos that will be available on that day!
