So what does Ledyard C.H.A.I.N. do?...We FUNDRAISE!  We are a small army of volunteers that work very hard all year to raise enough money or gather enough goods to meet the needs of our programs. The biggest misconception people have about us is that they think we are a rescue or shelter. But, we are neither. Instead all of our work goes to help our area animal shelters and rescues, with our local shelter, the Ledyard Animal Control, being our main focus

 

How did we start? In 2013, a group of four Ledyard residents saw a need to help the pets within our community. Little did we know that this idea would be so enthusiastically received and evolve into a 501(c)(3) non-profit charity that it is today. Since 2013, our efforts have expanded and we have been able to create new projects that have allowed us to reach more animals in need. Each one has a different focus but they all have a common goal…to make the lives of these animals better.

 

We are often asked, “How can we help?" You are continually amazing us and humbling us with you generosity and desire to give. You have kept us going by opening up your wallets or filling up our donation boxes with pet foods and supplies.  Your children  have brought us their piggy banks, set up Lemonade stands, and had birthday parties where they asked for “gifts for the animals” instead of themselves.  Because of your kindness, each animal that enters through the doors of Ledyard Animal Control has had a warm bed, food to eat, and medical attention if they need it. We thank you and the animals thank you. Those who stand with us, we are like links in a chain, joined together by our love and compassion for animals. We are Ledyard’s Citizens Helping Animals In Need. Won’t you join us?

Find a list of our various projects and events under the Programs/Events Tab at the top.  Also, be sure to check out our Donate page where there is a multitude of ways to give to C.H.A.I.N. so we can give back to the animals in need.
 

For those unaware, we also have a group page on Facebook. We do most of our conversing there so please join it also as it will keep you up to date on all we do. https://www.facebook.com/groups/ledyardchain/
