Homeless Pets Foundation

                                     School Clubs

               Article I:  Name of Club

         Article II: Purpose of Club:

    The purpose of the pet club is to assist The Homeless Pets Foundation and other community animal shelters with finding homes for the thousands of neglected and homeless animals in our community. In the Atlanta area alone, more than 100,000 animals are destroyed each year because they are homeless. The Homeless Pets Foundation is a nonprofit organization founded in 1998 by Dr. Michael Good, an Atlanta veterinarian, who created an organization that could assist animal shelters and pet owners in need. The foundation helps by providing critical medical care, food, foster care and comfort to these homeless animals. 

  Our club objective is to give a “voice” to these homeless animals by creating a network of communication throughout our community via internet (e-mail). Our club will sponsor a homeless dog or cat until that animal is adopted to a good home. We will post and send information and photos of the homeless animal through our computer  network of e-mails to family, friends, and community members. Again, we will continue to sponsor the animal until it is adopted. As we involve more students in this process, the “voice” for these homeless animals will increase in power and become more widespread, thus allowing more animals to find loving homes. Innocent lives will be saved annually through the collective responsibility of the students.

         Article III:  Powers

   The club members will vote for offices of president, vice-president, secretary and treasurer.

If an officer violates any constitutional rule, or doesn’t perform his/her duties responsibly, membership will vote to keep or remove him/her from office.
