Shamrock Foundation

Shamrock Foundation We are a group of highly committed, unpaid volunteers who have a passion for our mission and its goals. It started off as a thought; then a prayer.

The Shamrock Pet Foundation is a non-profit organization whose mission is to enhance the lives of companion animals through proactive programs such as spay/neuter, public education and adoption options. So many companion pets being needlessly killed at our shelters or dying horrific deaths on our streets due to overpopulation. In 1993, the Shamrock Foundation was formed. Our mission then and now;

to Spay and Neuter. But the need for our assistance continued to grow and expand. Animals who were abused, neglected and abandoned had few options. Shamrock began a wonderful decades long relationship with compassionate veterinarians. From simple wounds to life-saving surgeries thousands of animals survived and thrived. But all these companion pets needed a place to go. Shamrock’s foster and adoption program was implemented resulting in approximately 600 cat and dog adoptions per year. Yet still, our community faced another heartbreaking dilemma. Loving owners who faced financial hardships with no means to treat or save their pets were without options. A Financial Aid Program to help low-income, disabled and elderly owners came to fruition. It expanded to good Samaritans who wanted to save a life and make a difference but needed our intervention. We’ve learned over these many years that the best of folks get frustrated. Sometimes they need to vent, get advice or direction. How do I keep my pet? How do I place my pet safely? The Shamrock Hotline and online volunteers have provided years of referrals, assistance and sometimes just someone who truly understood and listened. Providing assistance that allows beloved companion pets to remain with loving families is always our hope. Shamrock and our dedicated volunteers have chosen to work quietly yet daily behind the scenes to assist pets in need. We are grateful that through the generosity of our supporters and donors we have been able to assist our local shelters when possible with Spay and Neuter and pull pets who may have otherwise been euthanized due to health issues or overcrowding. We have provided much needed supplies and even equipment to those shelters who exist on a shoestring budget. Fast forward twenty nine years, our passion today is just as great and our mission to be an advocate for the voiceless is just as strong. We think the greatest rewards are the animals saved and the community we have served.

BOONE HAS LEFT THE HOSPITAL‼️‼️‼️☘️‼️

Thank you so much Alli Goodlett Karrer for being so wonderful making this happen on a Sunday.

Boone has hit the jackpot on a wonderful foster. Her back yard is a rescue haven. One side grass, the other side a dog park. Inside he has his own space to decompress. Right now he's scared. But as the hours and days go by he will realize he is safe. A soft comfortable bed. Food in his stomach. So now time to heal from the horrendous neglect and cruelty this old man endured.

FOSTER FOUND!! BOONE IS LEAVING THE HOSPITAL IN THE MORNING‼️‼️‼️

We are still looking for a foster for Boone

THIS IS WHAT FORGIVENESS LOOKS LIKE IN A DOG WHO WAS SO CRUELLY TREATED‼️‼️‼️❤️

Just look at Boone today. He endured so much. So much pain and fear. So sick and those unbelieveable painful ears and feet.

We are reaching out to two homes today that have offered to foster Boone. The mass Dr Brad has removed has been sent out for testing. Pray for this old man that’s it’s benign 🙏🙏🙏❤️
