Rescuing, Assisting and Advocating for Shelter Animals since 2001

**  Please Visit Us at SARA's TREASURES GIFT and THRIFT STORE * 871 River Road in Eugene * Open 10AM - 6PM Everyday * 607-8892  ** 

Thanks to your support we have rescued 955 dogs and 650 cats from being killed/euthanized at local animal control shelters.

We have also assisted other rescue groups by sponsoring the spay/neuter of 139 cats and 23 dogs for low income families, which we estimate will save the lives of at least 1390 shelter cats and 368 shelter dogs.

S.A.R.A. is pleased to announce that the Willamette Animal Guild opened its low cost/high volume spay-neuter clinic in Eugene in January, 2008, and is providing high quality, affordable spay/neuter surgeries to the cats and dogs of low income residents and animal rescue groups.  For more information, please check out WAG's website at: www.wagwag.org

S.A.R.A. cannot accept stray or owner released animals from the public.

NEW HAPPY TAIL!
	BANDIT Dear S.A.R.A.S We are very happy to have Bandit in our home. He is getting along very well with his sister Yurika (Boots) and they are becoming quite fond of each other. He is very lively and his name definitely fits him; as he grabs items from around the house and brings them under the table, it is one of his endearing qualities. Nick and I love his company, and we thank you for saving our beautiful boy! Sincerely, Bandit's Forever Family
