FPO is based in central Illinois but has active members throughout the country. We are also an official shelter licensed by the state of Illinois. We believe that abandoned, injured or orphaned dogs, cats, puppies and kittens deserves the same care and concern as our own companion animals. Our members feel that they have a responsibility to address the general needs of this community's animals and to champion the rights of these sentient beings with whom we share our world. Foster Pet OutReach seeks not only to educate our community in the topics of pet over-population and the necessity of responsible pet ownership, but also to bring to local attention the plight of animals who have been denied the basic necessities for a quality life.
Animals have an intrinsic value which is greatly beyond their commercial significance.
Foster Pet OutReach wishes that everyone would recognize the worth of all animals. Here's one of our founding members, Buckshot. We had a great year in 2000 with adoptions. We hope to continue our success throughout 2001. We will be working with other organizations to ensure that all animals are properly loved and cared for.
