Pet Shelters

The American Pet Cross wants to launch an initiative around the country to help existing pet shelters everywhere raise the quality of their facilities, increase their visibility in the community, and offer increasing alternatives and options for animals who have been abandoned or deserted. The American Pet Cross Rescue Camp is a new concept that will allow the collaboration between land owners, volunteers, and business owners in the community. Here’s how it can work:

1. Land Owners- Many property owners throughout the country do not want to sell their land, nor see it used for development purposes. By donating acreage to an American Pet Cross Rescue Camp project the land owner may be eligible for certain income tax and estate tax benefits from the donation. In addition it may be possible to realize income from the donation through a lease agreement with the American Pet Cross Rescue Camp. Each landowner should consult their legal, financial or tax advisor before committing to such a donation.
2. Volunteers- Veterinarians, students, seniors, and pet enthusiasts all have a role in the running and management of an American Pet Cross Rescue Camp. In addition to providing an incredible benefit to the community by keeping unwanted or abandoned animals from the streets and neighborhoods, an American Pet Cross Rescue Camp offers a chance to learn about animals and their care.
3. Business Owners- Many businesses are looking for company projects that have a DIRECT benefit to the communities where they are located. An American Pet Cross Rescue Camp allows a business to sponsor the fund drive, and oversee the construction and development of the camp, while creating a legacy in the community.

The American Pet Cross Rescue Camp is part of the SAVE ONE! campaign. Our goal is simple: To have an American Pet Cross Rescue Camp in every state and city that wants one in the United States. We have included a listing of all shelters in America that we could locate. Start now. Make a donation to those shelters. Volunteer your time. Help the shelters that are currently working to succeed even more. You can SAVE ONE!!
