Homeless pets are a problem in most communities. Every year, hundreds of thousands of these animals are euthanized because of a lack of funding to care for them. Euthanizing these animals is a tragedy of epic proportions.

Help homeless animals by attending an outdoor flea market

Rent a space at the flea market and help homeless dogs and cats

Space at the flea market can be rented for as little as $20. Proceeds for the rentals will be donated to the West Warwick Angels to use in their crusade to help the homeless pets at the shelter.
