I'm sorry I haven't updated this for a while and I really appreciate the likes I don't really want to advertise from Petfinder although I'm going to have to do it for now but Facebook is trying to charge me a crap load of money to run ads and I never work. So I can't boost my website so any health that you can give me with the likes or having a friend likes would really help me out. I did contact a lawyer about starting a nonprofit to see how difficult it was and I'm waiting for them to get back to me but it's got to happen this is the only thing I want to do so I really appreciate your support thank you oh and by the way I'm picking up my rescue Pitbull today and she is going to be an emotional support animal as I suffer from chronic pain so if you need help or you suffer from a disease and you don't want to get a service dog because the training is very difficult. it costs about 10 to $20,000 to get them trained to detect diseases so if you have that problem I'm warning you it's very expensive. If you get an esa or EAS a service I'm sorry and emotional support dog they cannot deny you entrance regardless of the breed to an apartment building however you really don't want to live in an apartment where the residents are going to resent you for having a dog because who needs that hassle right? So I wouldn't recommend even though it's illegal for them to deny you moving into a non dog friendly apartment because it's just going to be more of a hassle for you and I have problems with my neighbors right now because they beat their dogs and so I'm moving out and I did report them to the ASPCA and the local shelter and they haven't done anything about it so I feel like if I can get into their apartment or if they took them outside or left them outside I will completely take them take them away. And I told them that so I'd like to see what happens. They only let their dogs outside to go to the bathroom they don't exercise them they don't take them to the park they don't take them in the car and I think that's complete cruelty and I want those animals taken away and I will have it happen so if you know anybody that is cruel to their dogs or keep them chained up do not go on their property because it'll be trespassing and I've had to reveal that for jobs and I don't think they have a problem with it because I've taken dogs before that have been chained up in the rain and stuff like that and usually the owners are willing to give it up but you can totally get charged with trespassing so be very careful about that if you need to do a rescue please call your local shelter or hope for pause or something like that and they can come out and take care of it for you and try to get the owner to give it up. Sometimes they won't do it but with a complaint they usually will take care of it you cannot let an animal suffer like that you just can't so please report any of you so you see thank you very much.

Listen I wish I could share with you a lot of these rescues that I'm getting messages from but it won't let me share it's horrible and you guys can't click on notifications to see it but I wish I could share it with you because there's a lot of really great rescues out there and if I could I would put the animals on my website but I can't are on my page but I can't because I can't share it so it sucks but look up if you're in Chicago look up shelters around here there's a heck of a lot of them. Thanks

Mission Statement

Hello! Thanks for stopping by. If I didn't this has been a dream of mine for quite some time after I left the music industry I had to have spinal surgery which took me out of the workforce for a long time and then there wasn't any more music industry. So now at the age of 51 after being on disability for a while career.
The only other thing I've ever wanted to do is to open an animal rescue and animal shelter and the ones that are in the suburbs of Chicago really aren't that great.
What I want to do is put together everybody that I know to get on this page and start writing reasons why they think this animal shelter could open and I want you to copy the Ellen DeGeneres show on it.
If you check out my page Polli Foerster, you'll see my proposal letter to Ellen although it does need to be edited and you'll see it's on the right on my front page you'll see why I want to do this and I've already kind of explained that but there's nothing more important to me than to help animals.
The goal here is to get Ellen DeGeneres to bring in her friends from one of those construction shows get about 2 acres of land outside of Chicago work with Ace hardware Shutterfly the Veterans Administration as I am a veteran and get grants from those to open this animal shelter
Kathy Bissell from the Bissell corporation you know the vacuums they have a huge Grant proposal that they do every year for animal shelters and animal welfare and they give the money to the most deserving. Proposal and I'm going to have to bring a lot of people in to help me on this kind of stuff but I do know animals and I do know how to run a business and I do know people.
The idea is to build a 15 or 16 room farmhouse type place with one bedroom a living room and a bathroom for myself live on the property and have the other 14 rooms before older dogs that have been in the shelter for a very long time and need a better end of life plan and we get out of the rooms full of toys and pillows and anything they're little hearts desire.
Then what I would like to do is have a barn with about 20 kennels on it for dogs that need to be rehabilitated like pit bulls that are aggressive or intimidated dog they want to go out and do animal rescues in the middle of the night bringing dogs that are injured have veterinarians that I work with and I can get some vets to sponsor me too I want to work with Bondi vet in Australia.
So all of my 182 friends or however many I have an acquaintances on Facebook I really need you to come in here make a comment tell me how great you think this idea this is and that I'm the person to run it tag Ellen degeneres show on it somehow I'm going to get this proposal to her although it's a little bit too long for her website. Fortunately I know one of her producers but that might be futile.
So please everybody come to this page say something about a great what a great animal shelter this would be I also want to have a little house on the property for a veterinary tech that can live there full time hopefully somebody on Young and I want to hire a bunch of young people too animal shelters and ma*****na dispensaries are like the record stores of right now. Not so much animal shelters but that's the way I'm going to look at it I'm going to play rock and roll and everybody's welcome we're going to take in cats too.
I realize you guys might think I'm crazy but I'm 51 years old I have to change she's a career after I get my hip replacement because I'm not going to lay in bed and watch movies for the next 40 years and chronic pain I can exercise with these dogs and have a lot of really cool people work there I want to have some veterinary students there to spend some time working in the real world with our vet tech if you think this is a good idea that's fine too all I need you guys to do is start tagging The Ellen degeneres show on here and I will get her to pay attention this is going to happen and anybody that wants to jump aboard please do.
Lastly after I get this set up but I'd like to do is get a fostering network from Chicago to Minneapolis to St Louis to Carbondale to Indianapolis and have it so we have Foster families all around that area and let's say there's a senior dog that's going to be put down at your shelter and they call you they will call you and then you would call me and I would drive wherever and pick up the dog and bring her to my senior facility and then if we need to Foster any dogs out here or if you need dogs rescued out there we could get the spca's to work with us and do that but this is really important to me guys and I've never asked you guys for anything at all just your support and I'm desperately asking for your support now because this is what I want to do the rest of my life and I'm going to accomplish this one way or another. Just click the like button and share with everybody that you know. And please if you would tag at Ellen DeGeneres we got to get it to her.
Thank you

I want to give everybody my reasons and our mission statement meaning what's important to us. we're not an incorporation we are not profit we do accept any kind of donations that you want to give us to help right now the start up costs but ultimately it all goes to the animals. Also mainly after working in the music industry most of my life when it collapsed I had no clue as to why when everything went South a lot of people just got stuck and being only 51.I don't want to get stuck I want to move forward and I don't want to go back into corporate America and sit at some desk.
The only thing I want to do is rescue animals. It is so important to me to build this animal shelter. but this is something I've never even attempted before and I know I can do it. You just have to surround yourself with the right people doing the right jobs.
And of course ;-) the right money. And I am completely totally and utterly counting on Sheryl Crow to throw some money I promoted her records for years while she sat around and drink beer it was completely unfair. Fostering will be a fairly small to medium size network between Minneapolis Chicago Indianapolis Carbondale and St Louis, and the actual shelter I want to build here outside lake Michigan in Chicago. Even though I'm noticing there's a lot of shelters popping up here and a lot of fostering networks popping up here without shelters I want to coordinate with everybody and use our shelter as a stepping stone for those foster families that don't have a shelter and may need to drop those pets off for a couple of days while they go out of town or want to pick up more animals to foster.
I want this to be a stellar network of rescuers, vets, assistants, students, volunteers out there snatching these poor animals from the street and bringing them to a safe place. Then after a long time in some cases or right away they get to go their forever home. This is the goal. Take as many animals and as are going out and find them all stellar homes. I know that if we work on this we can be the Midwest most accomplished small animal shelter that there is once it's up and running and no matter how long it takes I swear to God it will be.
