Save Tails of Hope - Highland Park's only animal shelter

Everyone may not be aware of Tails of Hope or aware but not knowledgeable about the situation they find themselves in.  Tails only survives by donations.  They need money to: pay rent; pay employees; buy food; pay for vet bills; the list goes on and on and on.  They save SO many animals that would otherwise be killed.  I prefer the word killed because that is exactly what happens.  Animals that are sheltered at Tails of Hope come from all locations and many times right off death row.  If everyone in Highland Park donated just $10, the shelter could be saved.  If you have free time, go visit!  You will see an amazing place where animals are well taken care of but they need homes!  And Tails needs to continue!  This is urgent.  Please help in any way you can.  A few dollars from each resident would make all the different in the world.  Otherwise it may be forced to close.  And how awful would that be!  Again, go visit!  You will see what they do there!  And you will see the many lives that you help save!!!  Jennifer Mordini
