The E-Library is open and being used by students, teachers and the community. Phase I has been completed and we thank all of the generous people who have made this possible. The facility is functioning but we hope to serve more people by the end of the year. The number of seats will more than double in Phase II. The list of desired text books and research books is still very long and very expensive for this rural Uganda school. You can help by donating through the website: bwindicommunityprogram.org. or by calling Jim or Jan Tanis at 928-204-1135 to see how you can participate in this wonderful endeavor. These fortunate students are waiting for the next delivery of books with big smiles!

The Giving Angels is seeking new members to add to the core group of volunteers. These are the individuals that assist in setting up the volunteer schedules, lead or assist the scheduling for drop off times and locations for the gift deliveries, assist in shopping for gifts and setting up the floor space for assembling the bags, social media postings, etc. There is a small core group now, but a few more people would make the work that needs to get done easier and even more fun. And this is something where you’re giving a little bit of your time for a short 2 to 3 month period out of the year.Every year, it is such a rewarding feeling being able to help our low-income seniors. One of our Angels shared a memory:
“I remember delivering to a housing area in Cottowood a couple of years ago and an elderly gentleman came to the door with his coat, hat and gloves on. I apologized that we had caught him getting ready to go out but he responded, “oh not at all, I keep the heating way down to save on my utility bill”.”
Many of us don’t even think about having to regulate our lives like that. Unfortunately, many of our recipients do.
If you want to learn how you can help, please contact us.

The new E-Library on the secondary school campus in rural Uganda is almost open. Just a bit more cleanup! We appreciate all those who helped make this possible. To complete the facility, we are raising funds for much needed textbooks and research books. The rural students cannot afford to purchase books for their courses. They use the shared texts in classrooms but must leave them behind when the class is over. In this new study space for 64 students, it will be wonderful to have appropriate texts available for them to use. The cost for books ranges from $10 to $150 each. You can provide a gift to this E-Library that will bolster education half-way around the globe. Go to BwindiCommunityProgram.org or call Jan Tanis at 928-204-1135 to donate. The smiles in Uganda will be radiating all the way to Sedona!

If the Sedona Wish List readers haven't already done their spring cleaning, SedonaKind would like to suggest that this would be a perfect time to clean in air conditioned comfort! Rather than tossing things, SedonaKind would like what you don't want in the way of costume jewelry, yarn, and those small hotel toiletries you've been picking up on vacation! All will be used for kindness charms, warm winter hats and lap robes, and blessing bags for homeless veterans. In addition, the coming year will see the organization creating mosaic kindness benches which will placed around the community for the use of the general public.

LOOKING FOR VETERINARIANS FOR ANIMAL WELFARE IN NORTHERN ARIZONA (VERDE VALLEY)Giving of ourselves: our time, love and compassion to the animals in need is what is most important to us at Red Rose Inspiration For Animals as we have been providing free services to felines and canines in this community for over 7 years now. However, we wonder what will happen to the animals if we are not able to continue providing services?
We have been instrumental in the Verde Valley. Focused heavily in Camp Verde, Rimrock, Cottonwood and Cornville.
We are unique as 501c3 in animal welfare as we don’t have a facility and our focus is not taking in animals and adopting them out. Although we have done it in the past and on occasion we will still do it but our specialty is providing services in animal welfare.
With all the animal organizations in the Verde Valley we try to be particular and service the community in which we live on a different level as it wouldn’t do the animals any good if we all did the same thing. Fortunately, the one common goal we all have is to spay and neuter and make a difference in the over pet population as that is the most important goal for all of us universally. That is what we at Red Rose believe makes the biggest impact within our community.
TNR (Trap Neuter Return for Feral Cats) is a service we have been providing regularly since 2012. We have compassionate, experienced volunteers who set the traps and transport these kittens/cats to the vet and then return and release them back to their environment. Young kittens caught early enough are vaccinated, treated medically, altered and adopted out an experience that is life changing obviously for the better.
At Red Rose we assist homeless animals with emergency medical care. All animals including feral cats involved with Red Rose are treated for any medical conditions before being released. When pet owners on a
fixed income find themselves experiencing an emergency situation with their companion animal they are not always prepared to even cover the cost of an exam let alone medication and testing. With our help many pet owners have mentioned “they were able to keep their pet instead of having to give them up due to the cost and treatment.”
Red Rose has assisted hundreds of pet owners (especially seniors) in dire need so that they don’t further delay the animal having to suffer due to financial challenges.
We also assist with free spay and neuter services of felines and canines. Not only assisting pet owners who can’t afford the low cost spay neuter clinics in our community but also homeless animals that are either trapped or found as strays by kind compassionate people that are struggling financially and can’t take on the necessary veterinarian cost. Before moving any animal into the next phase we always encourage individuals to spay and neuter and offer financial assistance when they are in need. Spaying and neutering litters of kittens and puppies and the adult dogs that contributed to their existence whenever possible.
Now Red Rose has reached an obstacle in animal welfare as we currently have limited veterinarian partners at this time. We cannot possibly continue the work we do without additional veterinarians.
We need more veterinarians willing to provide rescue pricing as we have pet owners wanting and desperately needing the services for their pets, not to mention the homeless animals. Our long term, dedicated, compassionate veterinarian partner since 2012 in Camp Verde is not able to continue assisting many in animal welfare at this particular time being a sole practitioner, without an additional vet.
The unfortunate part is many of the veterinarians in the Verde Valley are not willing to provide discounted services and that is a real obstacle for us because pet owners that are financially challenged needing emergency services have practically nowhere to turn if we don't have veterinarians willing to assist us. Many of the people we often assist don’t have credit cards and many try to apply for Care Credit at the veterinarian’s office only to be denied. Then what? Their animal is not serviced and is left to suffer. This has and continues to happen quite often.
Another problem is many veterinarians will not provide services to feral felines so they will not assist us with our TNR program either. We have had to cut back drastically in the last 12 months on the services because of this situation. You are probably wondering have we reached out to all the additional veterinarians in the area……the answer is yes and multiple times, with no luck. Thankfully the Village Vet Clinic in the Village of Oak Creek has been helping us out temporarily and with emergencies. Along with Canyon Pet Hospital in Flagstaff and Danza Del Sol has graciously agreed to assist but services are limited.
Animals left to continue to reproduce often wind up abused, injured, or neglected as shelters across the country are filled with animals that are euthanized daily due to over pet population as we simply can’t adopt our way out of this problem.
In search of a full time veterinarian the last few months and only being given the opportunity to work with current veterinarians on a temporary and limited basis our organization still managed to make a huge difference. In January, February, March 2018 we spayed 25, neutered 22 and emergency medical 5 for a total of $3,095.74
We cannot predict when things will change. We are hoping to open a clinic of our own and need additional support. Perhaps we will be fortunate to find a generous, retired, veterinarian willing to volunteer their time to helping our mission or funding for a veterinarian full time salary..
Anyone looking to assist us in opening a clinic of our own we would love to hear from you.

We are a very small volunteer based organization that makes a huge difference in the community by offering FREE spay and neuter services to pet owners that are financially challenged. Free spay and neuter makes a difference because low cost clinics can be costly to pet owners on a budget costing up to $100.00 per animal based on weight.
We also provide emergency vet care and help with surgeries for seniors living on a fixed income helping them get their animal companion the urgent care they need and deserve.
We also specialize in assisting homeless animals with spay/neuter, vaccinations and medical and finding forever homes.
In addition to providing sponsorship in a transitional home for pet owners who find themselves and their animal existing in extreme weather conditions living on the streets.
These are just some of the things we do as "People Working for Pets"

TNR (Trap Neuter Return for Feral Cats) is a service we have been providing regularly since 2012. We have compassionate, experienced volunteers who set the traps and transport these kittens/cats to the vet and then return and release them back to their environment. Young kittens caught early enough are vaccinated, treated medically, altered and adopted out an experience that is life changing obviously for the better.
At Red Rose we assist homeless animals with emergency medical care. All animals including feral cats involved with Red Rose are treated for any medical conditions before being released. When pet owners on a
fixed income find themselves experiencing an emergency situation with their companion animal they are not always prepared to even cover the cost of an exam let alone medication and testing. With our help many pet owners have mentioned “they were able to keep their pet instead of having to give them up due to the cost and treatment.”
Red Rose has assisted hundreds of pet owners (especially seniors) in dire need so that they don’t further delay the animal having to suffer due to financial challenges.
We also assist with free spay and neuter services of felines and canines. Not only assisting pet owners who can’t afford the low cost spay neuter clinics in our community but also homeless animals that are either trapped or found as strays by kind compassionate people that are struggling financially and can’t take on the necessary veterinarian cost. Before moving any animal into the next phase we always encourage individuals to spay and neuter and offer financial assistance when they are in need. Spaying and neutering litters of kittens and puppies and the adult dogs that contributed to their existence whenever possible.
Now Red Rose has reached an obstacle in animal welfare as we currently do not have working veterinarian partners at this time. We cannot possibly continue the work we do without a veterinarian.
We need more veterinarians willing to provide rescue pricing as we have pet owners wanting and desperately needing the services for their pets, not to mention the homeless animals. Our long term, dedicated, compassionate veterinarian partner since 2012 in Camp Verde is not able to continue assisting many in animal welfare at this particular time being a sole practitioner, without an additional vet.
The unfortunate part is many of the veterinarians in the Verde Valley are not willing to provide discounted services and that is a real obstacle for us because pet owners that are financially challenged needing emergency services have practically nowhere to turn if we don't have veterinarians willing to assist us. Many of the people we often assist don’t have credit cards and many try to apply for Care Credit at the veterinarian’s office only to be denied. Then what? Their animal is not serviced and is left to suffer. This has and continues to happen quite often.
Another problem is many veterinarians will not provide services to feral felines so they will not assist us with our TNR program either. We have had to cut back drastically in the last 12 months on the services because of this situation. You are probably wondering have we reached out to all the additional veterinarians in the area……the answer is yes and multiple times, with no luck. Thankfully the Village Vet Clinic in the Village of Oak Creek has been helping us out temporarily and with emergencies.
Animals left to continue to reproduce often wind up abused, injured, or neglected as shelters across the country are filled with animals that are euthanized daily due to over pet population as we simply can’t adopt our way out of this problem.
In August and September 2017 we spent over $5,036.00 and assisted 52 cats, 20 dogs and 1 rabbit. Just recently in October, November and December we spent $3,716.17 and spayed 25 females, neutered 22 males and assisted 8 pet owners with emergency medical services through our compassionate veterinary partners. In the last two weeks no services are being provided because we do not have a veterinarian partner.
We cannot predict when things will change. Who knows what the future holds in 2018? Perhaps we will be fortunate to find a generous, retired, veterinarian willing to volunteer their time to helping our mission or we will be fortunate to open a clinic in the future. We encourage our supporters to help us find a veterinarian either a volunteer or a new professional to the area or one that is contracted.
When you support Red Rose 100% of the proceeds from our fundraising efforts from the Red Rose Thriftique and our Red Rose Art Shows go to the overall mission of Red Rose Inspiration For Animals. 100% of a monetary donor’s donation goes directly to assisting the animals. No administrative cost or salaries as we are a small, volunteer based organization making a huge difference in the lives of animals throughout the Verde Valley.
On our 990 for the year 2016 we had a 99.98 percent rating for public support which we are quite proud of, as with us it’s all about servicing the animals. We are asking for anyone passionate about our mission to help us continue the work we do. We are most grateful for all we have accomplished through the years and continue to accomplish. Thank you for sharing and supporting us.
