New Animal Sanctuary to Open in the Cass County Missouri
Area
Whiskers and Tails is embarking on the huge task
of gaining funds and community support to build the County's
first ever Forever Home Animal Sanctuary
by Steve Johnson, staff
July 1, 2004
For years, companion animals have been euthanized, abandoned,
mistreated, and ignored, due to uncaring owners and over-population.
Whiskers and Tails, a small animal rescue located in Peculiar,
MO plans to alleviate the problem by building the first "Forever
Home Animal Sanctuary" in the Cass County, Missouri area.
The Whiskers and Tails Forever Home Sanctuary will be the
first of its kind in the county and possibly the entire state.
Once developed, they hope it will spread throughout the entire
country. The Sanctuary will not only house dogs, cats, puppies
and kittens, but also plans on working with horses, cattle,
sheep, birds and a huge variety of animals that have no place
to go if they are in need of being rescued.
The sanctuary will include a full service facility for the
community that will assist in low cost spay/neuter, and a
food pantry to help low income individuals feed their pets.
It will also provide housing for unwanted animals will also
help the community by providing a resource for seniors, lower
income and private citizens as well as authorities who need
to rescue animals from puppy and kitten mills.
Plans to create future income include a thrift store, museum,
western community, low cost spay/neuter and healthcare clinic
and a series of children's books. With these not-for-profit
businesses and projects it hopes to make the larger part of
the sanctuary self supporting. It will also depend on grants,
private and community funding as well as local government
assistance.
The public is being asked to help raise funds, get the word
out and create volunteer/youth projects. Businesses are being
asked to participate as well.
