Adopt-A-Pet
of Fargo-Moorhead MATCHING RESCUED
PETS WITH LOVING HOMES
Announcements:
3/4/2010 -
Trigger is a 5-year-old Terrier mix
Adopt-A-Pet has taken out of a local pound. He
has a very sweet personality. This little guy
previously had an injury to his right front leg - it was repaired with a plate and screws.
Without knowing his past, we do not know how long ago the repair was made,
but he does not use his leg at all. X-rays have been done and
show the bone is not healthy. It appears that the best option for the little guy is to amputate his leg. He will be having surgery March 10th so if you want to send him good thoughts on a speedy recovery that would be great!
We are trying to raise additional donations to
help with Trigger's medical expenses. If you
would like to donate, you can use the fundraising
badge you see here or see our How To Help page for information on how to send donations to Adopt-A-Pet. If you indicate "Trigger" on your donation, we will ensure it goes to his medical expenses.
The badge you see here only reflects donations given
through the badge and we set a goal to try to raise
$1500.00
Thank you!
2/28/2010 - The next Adoption Days will

event. We will have some of the dogs out at
the Sportsman Show at the Fargodome Thursday - Sunday. Please
come out and see some of the wonderful cats and dogs
available for adoption.
Check the events page
for future events.
2/6/2010 - Figures from the animal pounds in Fargo, Moorhead and West Fargo show that 379 cats and 25 dogs were euthanized at the local pounds in 2009. This was a reduction of 319 cat euthanizations and 60 dog euthanizations from 2008! Please continue to help pet rescue organizations by adopting homeless pets. The great majority of our pets come from the pound, so adopting allows us to rescue more from a needless death. Lets continue to drive these euthanization numbers down!
Adopt-A-Pet
of Fargo-Moorhead is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization;
It is a completely volunteer-run, local
animal organization with the primary goal of placing
rescued pets in loving and responsible homes.
Adopt-A-Pet has NO shelter. Instead, foster homes
are used for the animals until they are adopted.
AAP operates under a no-kill policy. The animals
are kept under AAP care until a permanent home can be
found, no matter how long it takes. AAP is dedicated
to keeping the animals happy and healthy at all times
and the welfare of the animals is our primary concern.
AAP receives no government financial support and
is NOT affiliated with any other animal rescue organizations
in the Fargo-Moorhead area. AAP relies solely
on private donations, fundraising events, and adoption
fees to continue its operations. These funds help
cover the cost of food, medical supplies, and veterinary
expenses. We are 100% funded by your donations.
Monetary donations may be sent to: Adopt-A-Pet
P.O. Box 865 Moorhead, MN 56561 Or, use the PayPal button located on other
