Animal Protection Society of Durham, North Carolina
The mission of the APS of Durham is to educate the public about the humane care, treatment and well-being of all animals, to help stop pet overpopulation through the promotion of spay/neuter programs, and to find suitable adoptive homes for the animals in our care.
Brew City Dog Rescue, Milwaukee
Brew City Dog Rescue is a group of Milwaukee volunteers dedicated to finding loving homes for stray and abandoned dogs in the local area.
Many of the dogs we rescue are on “death row” (high risk for being put-down/euthanasia). Their only crime is that they do not have a loving family to care for them. We primarily receive dogs from local shelters and owner surrenders.
You may be a self-proclaimed control freak (many business owners and entrepreneurs are).
You may like to supervise hands on to make sure every thing gets done exactly the way you envision it.
However, at some point you’ll come to realize you can’t do it all, at all times.
Enter your pet sitting independent contractor.
We all get sick, get tired, get burnt out, get called away for an unexpected emergency and simply want a day off for ourselves.
Plus, in order to grow into a powerhouse pet sitting business, you’ll need to bring others on for maximum potential.
When you begin to see an independent contractor as someone you can trust, count on and confide in, you’ll be able to breathe easier knowing your business is in fine hands while you tend to other matters – including growing your business and profits.

Animal Welfare League of Kosciusko County, Indiana
My goals as your Animal Welfare League Executive Director are many, but a primary thread that weaves through all those goals of mine, includes a strong devotion to the animals in this shelter. I happen to like the word “shelter” for that is exactly what we hope to provide…a place of safety and shelter for the animals in our care. Our mission statement is important. I would like to share it with you. The MISSION of the Animal Welfare League is to provide first-class care for the animals in our charge and to challenge our community to do the same.

Doesn’t this time of year just make you feel all warm and fuzzy inside?
During the season of giving, consider giving the gift of a second chance.
Every pet adoption and rescue shelter I come across online breaks my heart, and I wish I could take in all of the animals in need.
While that’s not possible, I’ll try and do the next best thing and help spread the word to those who can save an animal’s life.
