Young Friends of Peggy Adams Animal Rescue League

Mission Statement

The Mission of the Young Friends of Peggy Adams Animal Rescue League is to create a strong network of the next generation’s community leaders and influencers who are passionate about animal welfare.

Capital Campaign Pledge

The Young Friends have pledged $25,000 towards the new Pet Adoption and Humane Education Center being built at Peggy Adams Animal Rescue League. With construction scheduled to begin Summer 2019, the new building will double our number of adoptions – saving thousands of additional dogs, cats, puppies and kittens each year. Peggy Adams thanks the Young Friends for their initiative and support!
