CCAPL -Carroll County Animal Protection League

Hi, All animal lovers and friends,

On July 1st, 2009, the purchase agreement was signed by the President for the 5.393 acres on Canton Rd. (Rt. 43 between Carrollton and Malvern, Ohio) and the co-signers signed the loan. (We thank them immensly for their graciousness in doing this.) We are on our way! How exciting!

We have come so far in such a short time since our inception in January 2007, by accomplishing one of our two goals and now the other part of our journey begins by raising funds to build the shelter upon the land we have purchased. We could not have reached this segment of our goals without the help from the general public, the "People for People Fund" grant, the Humane Society Endowment gift, and of course our wonderful members!

Many things have to be considered and also patience must be a virtue as the remaining steps to completion will be arduous, tedious, and more than likely frustrating at times but we will persever and attain our goal to build a wonderful shelter, designed to save lives, educated the public in numerous areas of pet care, and assist in helping so many wonderful creatures which will come under our care. We know there will be some we cannot save due to health or other reasons, but this will only be done on veterinarian recommendation, not euthanized for space!

Contact your friends, neighbors, relatives, and any animal lover you know and tell them about our organization! If they wish to make a contribution, they (and you) can use the convenient PayPal tab on our home page for this. All monetary gifts will be acknowledge.

With having to make monthly payments now for our loan, we are committed to holding numerous fund-raising events to cover the loan payments, and still contribute to the shelter fund. We need help, so if you are in the area of Carrollton, Ohio, please consider joining us and helping! You will be glad you did and we will be extremely appreciative!

We will keep you posted on this blog of more developments as they arise.

Thanks everyone!

Eileen Rohrer, President
