| THE WOOD FOUNDATION Dedicated To: Protection - Treatment - Education Couple: Man Tossed Kittens From Car Over 100 Cats Hoarded In Lorain Home You may have read these stories, or heard about them on television or radio. The media reported these cases of animal abuse and neglect in recent weeks, shining a spotlight on the darker side of human behavior and the consequences it brings to our animal fiends. Unfortunately, these cases are not isolated incidents. Cats are thrown out, left behind, shot at and tortured. Dogs are cruelly chained with no food, water or shelter. Some are forced to fight for money then are dumped when they are no longer useful. The Lorain City Police, County Sheriff’s Department and Animal Control investigate man cases of animal abuse and neglect each year. Many of the seized animals are brought to the Lorain Animal Clinic for evaluation and treatment. The Wood Foundation has been established to protect, and provide medical care for, abused and neglected pets. We are in the process of becoming a member of The Community Foundation of Greater Lorain County. This fund is a recognized charity, which means contributions are fully tax deductible. I have pledged my own contribution of $10,000 to match the first $10,000 in donations to The Wood Foundation. Please consider a donation of $100 or more. Your support will help us to meet our goal. Sincerely, Dr. Thomas Wood President The Wood Foundation * Please check with your tax advisor for applicable impact on your tax return. |
