Be informed! HB2790 is an IL bill
you should be aware of.
Please read the original bill and its 2 amendments
carefully!
Remember
Remember that this is an all-volunteer group. We receive
no state or federal funding.
Only a tiny amount of people take it upon themselves
to provide rescue services out of their homes, personal
budgets and often the expenses of pet professionals
who donate their time and services to save these dumped,
abused, neglected, and irresponsibly discarded sweet
animals.
All of the animals in rescue need to find homes as
soon as possible to allow openings for the next needy
animal.
There are never enough homes or rescues for those
dogs being dumped by their owners.
The long term solution involves illegalization
of puppy sales in both pet stores and by individuals,
as well as the spaying and neutering of all pet dogs.
Those who are not a part of the solution,
are a part of the problem.
