*****MFRS IS VERY PROUD THAT IN 2008 .WE RESCUED 500 PETS. ALL FROM EITHER ANIMAL CONTROLS THAT SEND UNADOPTED/CLAIMED PETS TO RESEARCH WHERE THEY HAVE HORRIBLE EXPERIMENTS PERFORMED ON THEM BEFORE DYING ! AND THE REMAINING WERE RESCUED FROM SHELTERS THAT KILL UNADOPTED/CLAIMED PETS IN A GAS CHAMBER .

**** MFRS 'S VET COST LAST YEAR 2008 - WAS OVER 25,000.00- AND THAT IS WITH USING LOW COST SPAY/NEUTER CLINICS AND CUTTING AS MANY CORNORS AS WE CAN TO HELP SAVE MONEY. Donations are very down this year so doing rescue work is very hard.
