WHEREAS, The volunteers of Take Me Home Pet Rescue work |
|
|
tirelessly to save the lives of homeless dogs and cats in the |
|
|
Richardson area, and this notable group is deserving of special |
|
|
recognition for its worthy efforts; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Founded in April 2008, Take Me Home Pet Rescue is a |
|
|
nonprofit organization dedicated to removing stray dogs and cats |
|
|
from the streets and from the euthanasia lists of local animal |
|
|
shelters; during its three years in existence, the group's |
|
|
volunteers have saved the lives of more than 600 animals; in |
|
|
addition to rescuing abandoned dogs and cats, these compassionate |
|
|
volunteers foster the animals until they can be matched with a |
|
|
permanent home; they ensure that the strays are properly socialized |
|
|
and cared for, and that they are spayed, neutered, vaccinated, and |
|
|
microchipped prior to adoption; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Take Me Home Pet Rescue is funded entirely by the |
|
|
generous donations of individuals and local businesses and through |
|
|
the proceeds of many fund-raisers; the organization is currently |
|
|
planning to open its own office, which will be used for a number of |
|
|
purposes, among them adoption, clinic, and dog training services; |
|
|
and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Each year, countless healthy, well-behaved dogs and |
|
|
cats die in shelters or on the streets; Take Me Home Pet Rescue is |
|
|
doing its part to help end this sad pattern by saving such animals |
|
|
and placing them in the loving, permanent homes that they deserve; |
|
|
now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 82nd Texas |
|
|
Legislature hereby commend Take Me Home Pet Rescue for its |
|
|
outstanding work in behalf of homeless animals and extend to its |
|
|
volunteers sincere best wishes for continued success; and, be it |
|
|
further |
|
|
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be |
|
|
prepared for the organization as an expression of high regard by the |
|
|
Texas House of Representatives. |
