Animal shelters and rescue groups around the country provide a much needed service for stray and abandoned animals, yet the recognition of these valuable services and the people who tirelessly work them often goes unnoticed. bad dog frida, LLC wants to help in raising awareness of these valuable groups. Each quarter we will focus on a different animal shelter or rescue group. On our website you will find information about them, a link to their website and the animals that they have available for adoption. During that quarter a percentage of our proceeds will be donated to the organization. Please also consider supporting them through your financial and in-kind donations and by adopting from these groups. Wonderful animals come from shelters and the gratitude they will show to you will last a lifetime!
Friends of Noah-WI is a 501(c)(3) non-profit all-breed animal rescue organization located in South Central Wisconsin. We are an all volunteer group with no paid staff who relies on support and funding strictly from generous donors and community gifts. All of the monies raised goes directly to the care of the animals in the organization.
Friends of Noah-WI places animals in foster homes where they are provided with love and medical attention that may be required to ensure they are in good health before adoption. The animals are spayed/neutered and brought up to date on age appropriate vaccinations before being placed in their new, permanent homes.
Our rescue is a unique one, because we also concentrate on keeping animals in their current homes, so that they don't become stray or abandoned in the first place. Those efforts are focused in the following 3 sub-sets of Friends of Noah-WI:
--CAFE (Companion Animal Food Effort):
The CAFE is dedicated to providing pet food assistance to families who are economically disadvantaged and can't afford to feed their pets. Pet food is collected from the public as well as from retail outlets through Wisconsin. Nine pet food pantries have been established in Rock, Walworth and Dane Counties, each of which distribute pet food to those in need.
--Badger Animal Fund:
This fund provides financial assistance to qualified pet owners for payment of incurred and anticipated vet expenses. These are people who cannot afford to handle medical vet emergencies and would have to give up their pet because of that. A review committee of local professionals and pet owners review each application with care, compassion and fairness in order to help as many pets and their families as possible.
--SAFE (Saving Animals Through Focused Education):
This program helps individuals and the community develop caring, committed and compassionate children into friends of all animals. Workshops and seminars are presented to elementary and middle school students to educate them on the proper care, safety and commitment/responsibility towards our animal friends. Role-playing and hands on activities help educate how to care for a family pet keeping it in a forever loving home.
Friends of Noah-WI is always in need of time, talent, and donations to help the rescued animals in our care as well as support the various committees that help keep animals in their homes.
