MISSION STATEMENT

Through donations received from members and the public, Animal Care and Welfare Inc.

offers assistance for low cost spays and neuters. We also operate our pet placement program by collaborating with shelters, carefully selecting homeless pets and placing them in loving homes.

BIANNUAL NEWSLETTER

We would like to send a big thank you to the SAVEDOG Project who recently transported a group of South Carolina shelter pets to our rescue. Their efforts give second chances to homeless dogs in high euthanasia areas by relocating them to other regions where they will be adopted into loving homes. They even transported some kitties for us! SAVEDOG Project, Inc. is a non-profit dog rescue organization and relies solely on donations like we do. To learn more about their mission, please check out their website at www.SAVEDOG.org. We look forward to partnering with them again in the future to save even more lives in need.

Here are just a few of

our adoption pets

from this transport

that found their

forever homes.

Best wishes to all our adopters

and their new furry friends!

ACW loves encouraging passionate young people on their journeys to help animals. IW Startable Program teaches teens entrepreneurial and engineering skills through the design and commercialization of hardware products.

Young entrepreneurs, Lily White and Toby Valenzuela, had the idea to develop a knee brace for dogs with luxating patellas.

ACW helped Lily and Toby brainstorm on their invention of product material while they fully developed a marketing and business strategy on their own. Their project, Stride of Hope, was named after one of our adoption puppies adopted by Toby’s family during Covid in 2020. Lily and Toby recently presented their product and business plan to the judges of

IW Startable and won all three top categories at the event! Congratulations to both of them for a great job and

creative invention!

HAPPY TAILS FOR ASHLIN

“Ashlin has been very good with us. She gets lots of lovins from us and her favorite place she found to sleep is a large beanbag. She loves to play which I did not expect out of her. It makes me happy to see her hopping around. Her eyes also look more wide now like she’s happy to be home…She’s found her forever home with us!”

HAPPY TAILS FOR MILLIE

“We love our Millie girl (formerly named Aspen) SO MUCH!

She has been the greatest addition to our little family and is

loved by everyone she meets! Millie loves running around in

the backyard with her humans, playing with every person and animal she meets, and she especially loves her toys!

Millie has quickly become everyone’s favorite puppy girl,

and we couldn’t be more thankful to have in our lives!

Thank you so much Sue!!”

HAPPY TAILS FOR MAPLE

“Thank you so much!...She’s (Maple) beautiful

and very loved!”

Life is just better when we have

furry friends in our lives and by our sides.

Consider adoption and find a

lifetime of love and friendship!

All animals pictured in this newsletter were helped through the efforts of Animal Care & Welfare Inc.
