2 What we do! Zoology Foundation's mission is to improve the lives of animals through educational programming and rescue, and by teaching the connectedness between animals and humans. Freedom Service Dogs unleashes the potential of shelter dogs by transforming them into custom-trained, life-changing assistance dogs for people in need. Why we do it? Zoology Foundation chooses animals as the conduit of teaching balance between animals and people, and how we as humans can make their lives complete as living, feeling individuals; and in the end, saving ourselves. After all, all living things matter and deserve to be nurtured. We will better our lives and those of our children through enriching and respecting the lives of all animals, thus lessening the need to rescue our animals friends from a multitude of circumstances. Freedom Service Dogs custom-trains service shelter dogs to perform a multitude of tasks that increase the independence of their human partners, including military veterans, children and adults with disabilities such as autism, post-traumatic brain injury, cerebral palsy, muscular dystrophy, multiple sclerosis, and spinal cord injuries. For these clients, daily tasks that were once impossible become possible with the help of a highly trained service dog, which is provided to them at no charge. Our missions are in alignment, making us the perfect fundraising partners! Please join us and let your hard-earned dollars go further! Z O O L O G Y F O U N D A T I O N.

3 T H E B E N E F I T S Vitamin C+ How can you help? We know that there are a ton of amazing nonprofits out there that do incredible things! We just hope that you will support our journey to improve the lives of humans and animals alike by helping our organizations. As responsible stewards of your sponsorship dollars, Zoology Foundation has partnered with Freedom Service Dogs to make every penny count. We all know how expensive fundraisers can be, so we thought, "Why not work together and fill all the seats at Comedy Works, laugh twice as much and and raise twice as much funds?" Zoology Foundation sent over $70,000 to Hurricane Harvey-related causes in 2017, seriously depleting our rescue fund. Freedom Service Dogs is in need of a new wheelchair-accessible van for transporting both people and dogs. In 2017, Freedom Service Dogs welcomed 198 dogs from shelters and rescue groups into their training program, successfully placed 29 service dogs and professional therapy dogs, and adopted 144 dogs that did not make it as service dogs into loving homes. Since 1987, more than 400 client-dog teams have been matched by Freedom Service Dogs. "Giving is not just about making a donation. It's about making a difference." - Cathy Calvin
