PAALS needs help for people and animals
Contributed by: Marcia Morey on 4/13/2007

PAALS IS AN ACHRONYM FOR PEOPLE AND ANIMALS LIVING SYNERGYSTICALLY.

A 160 ACRE ANIMAL SANCTUARY IN PALMER RIDGE ENCOURAGES HOMELESS PEOPLE TO STOP FOR FOOD AND TEMPORARY SHELTER. THESE PEOPLE CAN STAY AS LONG AS THEY WISH.

AS REPAYMENT FOR THIS KINDNESS, THE INDIVIDUAL HELPS CARE FOR SOME OF THE 200 ANIMALS WHO RESIDE IN THE SANCTUARY. THIS HELPS THE ANIMALS AS WELL AS GIVING THESE HOMELESS A REASON FOR LIVING BY RECEIVING THE UNCONDITIONAL LOVE OFFERED BY AN ANIMAL.

THERE ARE DISCARDED, ELDERLY, ABUSED, SEVERELY NEGLECTED ,OR JUST UNWANTED ANIMALS ...AND PEOPLE.. WHO ARE GIVEN FOOD, SHELTER, LOVE , AND ATTENTION WHILE LIVING OUT THE BALANCE OF THEIR LIVES.

THE PAALS FOUNDATION CARES FOR 45 HORSES, 80 DOGS, 60 CATS, AS WELL AS DONKEYS, PIGS, AND GOATS. THE NUMBER CHANGES WEEK TO WEEK AS ADOPTIONS HAPPEN.

MANY OF THE ANIMALS ARE BLIND, 3 LEGGED, CATS WHO WON'T USE A LITTLER BOX, OR UNADOPTABLE DUE TO 'UNACCEPTABLE' ISSUES

MANY OF THESE ANIMALS ARE WORKED WITH SO THAT THEY CAN BECOME ADOPTABLE AND THEN ARE OFFERED AT ADOPTION SITES.

THE SANCTUARY HAS EXISTED SINCE 1985, BUT BECAME PAALS OFFICALLY IN 1998.

THIS VERY LONG WINTER'S HEAVY SNOW HAS TAKEN A DEVASTATING TOLL ON THE 130-YEAR-OLD BARN WHERE THE ANIMALS ARE HOUSED.

MUCH STRUCTURAL DAMAGE HAS OCCURRED AND THE BARN IS IN DANGER OF FALLING IN ON THE ANIMALS. TEMPORARY MEASURES HAVE BEEN TAKEN BUT MUCH FURTHER WORK IS NEEDED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE FOR THE SAFETY OF THE ANIMALS.

THIS SITUATION IS REALLY CRITICAL AND THE $1,000 AWARD OFFERED BY THE DENVER POST, SHOULD PAALS RECEIVE IT, WILL DEFINITELY HELP SAVE THESE ANIMALS.

ALL DONATIONS OF ADDITIONAL MONEY OR GRATUS LABOR AND MATERIALS WOULD ALSO BE APPRECIATED MORE THAN MERE WORDS CAN SAY.

TO KEEP THE ANIMALS AND HOMELESS SAFE, WARM, AND SECURE IS THE GOAL OF THE PEOPLE AND ANIMALS LIVING SYNERGYSTICALLY FOUNDATION.

YOU CAN HELP THEM BY VOTING FOR PAALS.

THANK YOU IN ADVANCE FOR YOUR KIND CONSIDERATION.

My family volunteers at this animal rescue ranch, PAALS. This is an AWESOME place and opportunity to get involved with an organization that provides a unique service to our state. PAALS does not have the big money and support that a lot of big organizations with big budgets and donations have. The people that live and work at the ranch give everything 365 days a year. They have to support and care for these beautiful, spirited animals every moment. They are facing the hardest times ever. They need help and support. As the end of the year winds down and we reflect about ourselves and our families through the holidays and think about how lucky we really are, PLEASE remember PAALS. Maybe as an individual, family or business, you could make a charitable donation to PAALS and make a difference in a homeless animal's life.
