I have been assigned a school project and it`s called 20 time. The purpose of this project is to learn things about a topic that we chose. everyone`s project I different, and for mine, I chose to organize a fundraiser for the animal rescue organization, PALS.

What is PALS?
P.A.L.S is a volunteer-run organization that was founded in 1996. P.A.L.S stands for Pet Adoption and Lifecare Society. P.A.L.S received the non-profit status in 2000, 4 years after being founded. What P.A.L.S does is they help cats and dogs who are in need of a home. P.A.L.S will place the animals into a secure, caring foster home until they can be put up for adoption and go to their forever home. P.A.L.S will supply all the veterinary care needed with the funding they get from donators.

P.A.L.S is a well-known, all-volunteer, non-profit organization, dedicated to solving the problem with homeless and abandoned animals by rescuing pets who are strays, abandoned, and unwanted. They are dedicated to the well-being of all animals. Unlike some other shelters and animal organizations, PALS is a non-kill organization and an animal will never be put down from just behavioral, logistical, or economical issues. An animal will only require euthanization if they are truly suffering, and their pain cannot be fully treated. Other, larger animal kill shelters, in Philadelphia for example, commonly put down unwanted animals that don`t get adopted within a short period of time.

56 % of dogs and 71% of cats that enter animal shelters are euthanized. More cats are euthanized than dogs because they are more likely to enter a shelter without any owner identification. There are many other statistics (according to the American Humane Society ) that show how much of a priority for organizations like P.A.L.S to make the number of animals in kill-shelters and on the streets go down drastically.
