Fundraising for 2015 I would like to THANK everyone for all the support and hard work that you have given to the East Greenwich Animal Protection League this past year with all of our fundraising events. With your help, we were able to raise about $35,000! Now it is time to start planning for 2015. The box to the left shows what is scheduled so far. Dates for Main Street Strolls and the Bazaar have not yet been set. We need new events to raise funds for our animals!

I'm sure you agree that it can't come soon enough! This has been a tough winter for all of us, and especially here at EGAPL. While we have saved over 100 lives these past few months, we also had to deal with the loss of some precious puppies due to a horrific virus. We have struggled emotionally and financially, but we are determined to continue to make a difference in the lives of homeless dogs and cats, and we hope to be able to do so in our own facility by the end of this year. We know that we could not make this difference without the tireless efforts of our fosters, our volunteers, and the financial help of all of our donors. Together, we DO make a difference in these precious animals' lives. Thank You for your continued support! Tammy Flanagan, President EAST GREENWICH ANII.4AL PROTECTION LEAGUE For the Love of an Adult Animal There's no denying that the sweet face of a puppy or kitten is irresistible. It is a real treasure to watch a young animal grow into a happy house-pet. But what about a cat or dog with a little more life experience? These animals were that same sweet baby once upon a time. As a volunteer, it can be heartbreaking to watch a homeless adult or senior be put into a cage because he/she was surrendered by an owner or abandoned on the street. At EGAPL, we are happy to see all of our animals, young or old, find their forever family. But there is nothing more rewarding than meeting an adopter willing to overlook a li6le gray fur or an extra pill at mealtime! What are the benefits of adopting a fully-grown animal? Adult pets come to us with their personalities already known so there are no surprises. They are house-trained and already know their manners, meaning they require less attention. Most importantly, taking home an adult pet means you will spend every day with a grateful little soul who, in retum, will love you unconditionally. Please be sure to come meet all of our adult animals in need of a warrn bed and an open heart this win- ter!
