2 Minutes to Midnight Animal Rescue

I'd like to meet:

ANYONE who is willing to participate in Rescue! We are always in need of people to adopt our rescued animals, volunteer, foster, and/or donate needed items and $. The more animals we adopt out, the more we can rescue! We are located in the Antelope Valley of Southern California, if you are out of the area and would still like to help out that would be GREAT! Needed things would be stuff like cat/dog toys, treats, $, printer ink(for all the fliers we print out), towels(for the cats/dogs to lay on, more washable than the pet beds), even office supplies! If you have friends that would be interested in this then by all means, please forward this page to them! THANKYOU!2 Minutes To Midnight offers the following services:
1. Rescue pet quality animals from local area shelters.
2. Removing animals from dangerous and/or unhealthy situations.
3. Accepting pets from people who are no longer able to provide the care the animal(s) need.
4. Referral services for local animal rescue groups.
5. Education about the benefits of sterilizing pets & low cost spay/neuter information.
What the public needs to know
The statistics:
· Approximately 2,500 kittens and puppies are born each hour in the United States · One cat and her offspring can produce 420,000 cats in seven years.
· One dog and her offspring can produce 67,000 pups in seven years.
· Animal control agencies and shelters receive approximately 27,000,000 animals annually.
· Those animals not adopted within a week are killed by lethal injection or by undesirable methods such as in carbon monoxide gas poisoning or decompression chambers. (5,000,000 animals annually)
· It is estimated that some 5,000 puppy mills are operating today; breeding more than a 500,000 dogs a year.
· Helpless victims of the euthanasia room, purebred dogs make up approximately 20% to 30% of shelter populations.
· At least 60% of dogs and 78% of cats that enter shelters are euthanized.
Animal guardians who do not spay and neuter their pets are the single greatest cause of companion animal tragedy.
Informing the public about this desperate situation will help alleviate the tragic results.
Sterilizing helps stem the tide of overpopulation; it does not make animals fat and lazy, harm their health, or alter their personalities, as some people mistakenly believe. Spaying reduces the stress and discomfort that females endure during "heat" periods, eliminates the risk of uterine cancer and greatly reduces the chance of mammary cancer. Neutered males are far less likely to roam, fight, or spray, and are far less likely to develop testicular cancer.
What must be done…
Education programs must be developed for adults, because adults are ultimately responsible for the family pets. At the same time, we must reach youngsters. By teaching young children how to be caring and responsible animal guardians, we hope that they will grow up to be more sensitive and responsible adults. Help us to create a more compassionate world for all creatures, ourselves included.

Mahatma Gandhi said that "the greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated."
