Englewood Animal Rescue Sanctuary is asking the community for help. The sanctuary
is lacking the funding that it needs in order to function. Vet bills, utilities, rent, pet
food and the sheer number of animals that they rescue on a weekly basis is at peak levels,
yet the donation dollars are at an all-time low.

EARS is made up of volunteers that have full-time jobs, homes, families and pets of their
own to care for, but they are driven by compassion to alleviate suffering where they find
it and to find loving homes for these unwanted animals. Most animals that end up in a rescue
shelter are not the picture of health and veterinary costs to rehabilitate them can be astronomical.
That money usually comes exclusively from the pockets of these volunteers. They need a larger
commitment from the community.

Animal rescue requires a considerable commitment of personal time and resources and is necessary
because some owners are unwilling or unable to commit to the responsibility they have to their pets.
Unfortunately, with the state of the economy, the situation has become severe. More animals
are finding themselves abandoned on our community's streets. Also, with owners not spaying
or neutering their pets, an unprecedented number of tiny kittens are being left to fend for themselves.
Please help EARS continue this important work. Help a cat or dog get a second chance. Please donate today!

If you would like to help the animals at EARS, monetary donations may be mailed or dropped off at
Englewood Animal Rescue Sanctuary, 145 W. Dearborn Street, Englewood, FL 34223. Food donations
may be dropped off at the same address. Donations may also be made over the phone via credit card
by calling 941-681-3877 or made by Paypal on our website at www.ears4life.com.
