Fundraising for 2015
I would like to THANK everyone for all the support and hard work that you have
given to the East Greenwich Animal Protection League this past year with all of
our fundraising events. With your help, we were able to raise about $35,000!
Now it is time to start planning for 2015. The box to the left shows what is
scheduled so far. Dates for Main Street Strolls and the Bazaar have not yet been
set. We need new events to raise funds for our animals! All EGAPL members
are encouraged to contribute fundraising ideas and help us plan these events.
Members are always welcome to join us at our monthly meetings (see black box
above). We also welcome our members to hold their own fundraisers through
work, school or the community. If you would like to receive monthly e-mail updates about EGAPL events or to become an EGAPL member, please contact
egaplmembership@gmail.com to be added to our e-mail list.
You can stay up-to-date with EGAPL anytime through social media! Look for us on Facebook (The East Greenwich Animal Protection League) and Twitter (EGAPLRI). To see a complete list of
our adoptable pets, visit Petfinder.com or adoptapet.com. You can
also visit our Youtube charurel, EGAPLRI, to see videos of our
animals. Please note our old website, egapl.org., is "under construction and the listed animals are NOT correct, but you can still
make a donation or read about our adoption procedures at this site.

A Message from the League President
Happy (Almost) Spring, everyone! I'm sure you agree that it can't come soon enough! This has been a
tough winter for all of us, and especially here at EGAPL. While we have saved over 100 lives these past
few months, we also had to deal with the loss of some precious puppies due to a horrific virus.
We have struggled emotionally and financially, but we are determined to continue to make a difference
in the lives of homeless dogs and cats, and we hope to be able to do so in our own facility by the end of
this year. We know that we could not make this difference without the tireless efforts of our fosters, our
volunteers, and the financial help of all of our donors.
Together, we DO make a difference in these precious animals' lives. Thank You for your continued support!
Tammy Flanagan, President

For the Love of an Adult Animal
There's no denying that the sweet face of a puppy or kitten is irresistible. It is a real treasure to watch a
young animal grow into a happy house-pet. But what about a cat or dog with a little more life experience? These animals were that same sweet baby once upon a time. As a volunteer, it can be heartbreaking to watch a homeless adult or senior be put into a cage because he/she was surrendered by an
owner or abandoned on the street.
At EGAPL, we are happy to see all of our animals, young or old, find their forever family. But there is
nothing more rewarding than meeting an adopter willing to overlook a li6le gray fur or an extra pill at
mealtime!
What are the benefits of adopting a fully-grown animal? Adult pets come to us with their personalities
already known so there are no surprises. They are house-trained and already know their manners, meaning they require less attention. Most importantly, taking home an adult pet means you will spend every
day with a grateful little soul who, in retum, will love you unconditionally.
Please be sure to come meet all of our adult animals in need of a warrn bed and an open heart this win-
ter!
