Our Mission:
Our mission is simple: Pay it forward. Animals are part of our family and world. They deserve to be well cared for, protected, loved,
cherished, free from harm, neglect, exploitation and abuse.
HISTORY:
Friends of the Animal Kingdom, Inc., was founded in the summer of 2003. It was discovered that several area pet owners were
considering giving up their beloved fur children because of an unexpected veterinarian bill. Through the sales of pet quilts from
Peeper Day Designs, online auctions at e-Bay and some very wonderful donors [yes, there are angels among us], we were able to
raise the necessary funds and negotiate a settlement of the veterinarian's bill.
Friends of the Animal Kingdom, Inc., provides assistance to pet owners that have experienced natural disasters such as tornadoes,
hurricanes, floods, fire, earthquakes and families during these tough economic times. A gift of $10.00, $15.00 or $25.00 can feed a
small/medium sized dog or a cat for two weeks.
It is a proven fact that owning a companion animal [fur child] can improve a person's overall health [mental & physical], including
their over-all quality of life. This rings especially true with older adults and people that live alone.
Friends of the Animal Kingdom provides assistance to various law enforcement agencies in the ongoing effort to combat animal
abuse and neglect against domestic and wild animals and birds that grace our world. We are members of the Animal Legal Defense
Fund [ALDF]. If you have information about animal abuse or neglect, please call us at 1-630-776-0081. All calls are confidential. We
do not need your name, just reliable information and facts leading to an investigation, arrest and conviction of the offender or
offenders.
Friends of the Animal Kingdom, Inc., is supported by public donations and proceeds from auctions and sales proceeds from Peeper
Day Designs. We receive no government funding. All donations are tax deductible.

Latest News From the Director:
Wow, the Winter of 2010 has certainly been a snowy one! Who would have ever thought that Dallas, TX would receive 12 inches of
snow? Who would ever have thought that the Sunshine State (Florida) had temps in the 20s and snow in Orlando and Panama City?
Since January 1, 2010, we've been called upon by 25 area and 5 out-of-area families looking for pet food assistance. As of February 1,
2010, we have been able to provide assistance (food) to 291 families. That may not seem a lot, but at least there are 291 beloved fur
children that are able to stay with their families.
Our February & March, 2010 goal is to raise $1,000.00. All donations are tax deductible. Please help us to achieve our goals with a
donation between $10.00 - $20.00.
Choicest blessings,
Elin "Ellen" Day
