Animals in Need-Tahlequah is an organization founded by me, Lauren Pate, a college student at Northeastern State University. I noticed through social media that the area is overflowing with mistreated and abandoned animals that aren't given much of a chance. Backyard breeding, dog fighting, dumping, and just plain ol' neglect run rampant and I decided I needed to do my best to help out. I started up a Facebook Page where people living in the Cherokee County area could post concerns, missing animals, those in need of homes or fosters, and those who are in need of vetting and AINT began! We have a great group of animal lovers. Many of them foster and donate to help us out and we are doing the best we can! All of the success that we have makes the effort worth it. :)
