Goals
- Create a website that provides information on animals in ON shelters
- Create a network of people and shelters to lower euthanasia numbers
- To help shelters advertise their hard to place animals
- Create fact sheets for website
- Create a fund to help shelters with medical costs, training etc.
Overview
I want to create a website for animals in Ontario shelters that are hard-to-place due to:
- Overcrowding
- Expensive medical costs
- Length of time at shelter
- Shadow Cat (shy or feral cat)
- Behavioural Issues
A number of Ontario shelters have already shown interest in my idea and I hope to gain more support with the creation of the website and fund.
With advertising I think that the site can gain public notice and that the animals featured there will have a higher chance of adoption. The website will also have a number of fact sheets for both the public and for shelters on things like 'How to pick a pet thats right for your family', 'Good pets for children' and 'How to create a user-friendly website to promote shelter animals'.
The fund is another important part of my refresh idea. It will eventually be able to help shelters with costs like regular spaying/neutering, trap-neuter-release programs, medical costs (like amputation and diabetes) and training.
How will the $10K be used? |

$ 1,000 | Costs to become non-profit |
$ 2,000 | Start up high quality website |
$ 1,000 | Advertising (facebook, newspapers, posters etc.) |
$ 6,000 | Fund for shelters (for medical costs etc.) |
