Looking for ways to get involved?
Here are some ideas to get you started!
Adoptable Pets
Looking for a new family member? From dogs and cats to birds and bunnies, we are sure to have a furry (or feathered) friend who wants a forever home. Since our animals are all fostered we know a lot about their personalities, their likes and their dislikes. Please look through the available pets and make sure to read about our adoption process.
Fostering
Since we do not have a shelter we are always in need of good foster homes. Fostering allows us to save more animals and allows us to learn about them so we can place them in just the right forever home. Please contact us to find out more about animals in need of fostering, their particular needs and if they would be a good fit for your family.
Programs
AEAR offers numerous programs and services for our community including educational programs in schools, libraries, and for Scouting Troops, Humane Investigations of animal abuse, neglect and suspected violations throughout the Lake County area, and Pet Therapy that provides both mental an physical benefits.
We rely on your donations to keep our programs going
It is our hope you will find it in your heart to donate whatever you can. We need funding in order to continue our progress moving forward.
