November 2004 Community Crusade - Mickaboo Cockateil Rescue
This November, KUSF's Community Crusade celebrates the work of Mickaboo
Cockateil Rescue.
Mickaboo Cockatiel Rescue is a small-bird rescue organization serving
the entire Bay Area. Their volunteers are dedicated to rescuing
parrot-type birds that have been neglected, abused, sick, or injured. They rehabilitate the birds and place them in safe, caring homes with
conscientious volunteers who care for displaced rescue birds until a
permanent home can be found. They also educate the bird owning public
on the most current diet, health and care information.
On December 4th, Mickaboo Cockateil Rescue will host a special
Adoption Fair for Bay Area bird lovers. It will be a great chance to
meet some of the birds that are looking for homes and talk to
volunteers about Mickaboo and the rescue work they do.
You too can contribute to the important work of Mickaboo Cockateil
Rescue by becoming a foster parent, a permanent adoptive parent, or
simply by donating to the cause. For more information about Mickaboo
Cockateil Rescue, or for directions to the bird Adoption Fair, visit www.mickaboo.com or send an email to mail@mickaboo.org.
November 2004 Community Crusade - Pets Unlimited
This November, KUSF's Community Crusade gets warm and fuzzy with the good
people of Pets Unlimited. Pets Unlimited was founded in 1947 by a
group of citizens concerned about the welfare of San Francisco's stray
animals. From a temporary shelter, they began rescuing dogs from the
city pound and finding homes for them. Over the years, the
organization grew and founded a veterinary hospital/shelter to serve
the community's pets as well as their own shelter animals.
Since that time, the hospital has expanded to a 24-hour emergency
facility to meet the growing needs of the community. From their
current Fillmore Street location, Pets Unlimited now offers complete
medical care, extended shelter services, a foster family program,
volunteer opportunities and community educational services, both on
and off-site.
Pets Unlimited relies on the support of people in the community, and
it is these generous people who have made a difference in the lives of
so many neglected, abandoned or abused animals. You too can help make
a difference at Pets Unlimited by making a monetary or in-kind
donation, by becoming a member, or by donating your time as a
volunteer. For further information on how you can get involved, call
(415) 563-6700 or visit the organization online at
