Program Title H.E.L.P. (Homing Each Lost Pet)

The economic crisis has hit the Pocono area quite hard. Jobs are few and foreclosures are many. Large numbers of pets are found abandoned and lost.

We propose a mission to help these furry friends who have no one to love or care for them. Each animal that we take in is spay/neutered, given shots and medical care. We then put them up for adoption. Our rescue animals are featured in the local PetSmart Store in Stroudsburg, PA. We give them health care, nutritious food, clean water and a safe place until we can find them a home. No healthy animal is ever euthanized. Our rescue animals are treated at Creature Comforts Veterinary Service (CCVS) in Saylorsburg, PA. CCVS offers reduced prices for our cause.

This program addresses the abandoned pet population in our community. We are working toward a no-kill area. Unfortunately, the cruel suffering of the abandoned pet is not the only problem. Pets left to fend for themselves will be exposed to illness, disease and insect infestation. As animals become more desperate for food, they will draw closer to humans and other animals. We strive to change that and save as many as we can. They deserve a better life than a terrible end on the streets, or a sad death in a kill shelter. Funds for the program will be used to spay/neuter and give shots to these animals. The cost for this is $50.00 an animal.. We can't do it alone, but with help, we can make an impact. For every animal rescued and spayed/neutered, countless will be spared. Please H.E.L.P. us.

Project Title - H.A.N.D (Help A Neglected Dog)

Animals Can't Talk in conjunction with Creature Comforts Veterinary Service piloted a new program called H.A.N.D. Dogs are pulled from high kill shelters and given vet care in preparation for adoption. The cost for this is $150 for a male and $200 for a female.

Won't you please lend a H.A.N.D. to save the death row dogs and give them a chance at a new life?

Time is short for so many of these lost souls.

New Building Proposal - Project Positive Felines

Many cats are infected with the feline aids virus or leukemia. These cats can live long lives, but must be kept separate from those not infected. Our plan is to provide housing and care for these unfortunate felines.

Animals Can't Talk Rescue and Adoption, Inc. and Creature Comforts Veterinary Service are working together to provide such a home. The animals will receive a safe environment, good food and needed medical attention until an appropriate family can adopt them. We are also looking at commercial properties where we can sell our products (shirts, cups, pens, and tote bags) with our logo on it to help defray operating costs. We wish to find a property that is closer to Creature Comforts in Saylorsburg. This will save on travel costs.

The funding requested is for the housing. The entire amount would be used for either full purchase or a down payment on a property. Animals Can't Talk Rescue and Adoption, Inc. is a 501 C-3 organization which operates completely by volunteers. This is our first attempt for capital funding. All other fundraising has been for spay/neuter/rescue. All monies are 100% used for the animals (their care/upkeep/health management), until adopted.

Our new project, H.A.V.E.N. is under development to obtain a new building for the rescue cats that are housed within Animals Can't Talk Rescue and Adoption, Inc.

Currently, our President, Naomi Gauntlett, gives shelter to the cats waiting for adoption in her personal residence. We hope to acquire funding/grants to change this.
Our goal is to find a house/building that is larger than the 3325 Penn Estates address which we will call H.A.V.E.N.

This will be a safe and welcoming place for cats to live until a permanent home can be found. We also hope to have some property so a fenced-in area (cat fence) could give shelter and food to feral cats that have been neutered. The desired location would be in the Saylorsburg, PA area near our veterinarian, Creature Comforts Veterinary Service. There are many foreclosed homes in the Pocono Region, so we believe we could find a location at a reasonable cost.

If you or your business would like to contribute or request more information about this project, please contact us by phone, mail or email. All donations are tax deductible. Animals Can't Talk Rescue and Adoption, Inc. 3325 Penn Estates East Stroudsburg, PA 18301 570.242.2846

Our newest project! To find funding to support our TNRM Program. We hope to prevent the feral cats in our community from multiplying. We also hope to care for and adopt the cats that can be socialized. Lastly, we want a management program to feed these cats as they live out their lives.
