The public trust is being violated regularly behind a veil of SECRECY.
Scam artists use the name "non-profit" to mislead people and are usually NOT registered as a charity.
Many people don't recognize the signs of a bad rescue.
Bad rescues will try to put themselves out there as though they are "good", unfortunately many people find out the hard way. After they've been scammed, mislead, harassed, threatened, stalked, slandered, emotionally and mentally abused, when all they were trying to do was help an animal in need. These corrupt people use vulnerable animals who have no voice to take advantage of generous communities seeking to help!

We're not trying to make it harder for the honest rescues, that's why we're asking those in the field and in our communities to help us make changes that will also improve their situation and raise awareness.
If we want to stop crime, the law needs to apply to EVERYONE!
Right now there's so many loopholes and criminals are running amuck everywhere and hindering the honest rescues.
Pocketing and misusing funds that should have gone to animals. If there's misuse of funds chances are there will be animal abuse or neglect, because those kinds of people don't have a conscience or integrity.
They are taking away support and money that would have gone to help honest rescues!
Unfortunately their abusive behavior continues because there's no bylaws to regulate it.

THE SOLUTION:
We believe that ANYONE asking for donations from the public should be:
Step 1. REQUIRED to REGISTER as a "Charity".
Step 2. REQUIRED to be Transparent and Accountable for ALL donations and their Behavior.
Step 3. REQUIRED to have ALL Financial Records Available to the PUBLIC AT ALL TIMES.

WE NEED YOUR HELP to Protect Animals and Our Communities and fix the loopholes!
Let us come together and urge each and every "Unregistered Rescue" to Register as a Charity and to follow the three step requirements!
PLEASE take the TIME, to stop the CRIME!

REGISTERING INFO:
Many people have been wrongly informed that it costs a lot of money to register their rescue and then decide not to register based on that.
Anyone can call the Charities Directorate at: 1-800-267-2384 to register as a Charity.
**FACT** THERE'S NO COST TO REGISTER AS A "CHARITY" AND YOU CAN APPLY AT ANY TIME.

There are many benefits to registering a rescue...
They will be able to give tax receipts and MORE people will be willing to donate (which means more help and more lives saved!!), they can also sign up for contests that only Registered Charities can enter and win prizes etc. It's a Win Win situation!

Will YOU Help us in this endeavor?

Together WE can make change HAPPEN!
