Animal Rescue Groups

At Aaron Sachs & Associates, P.C., we love all members of our community, including the furry ones! That’s why we proudly sponsor, support, and partner with various animal rescue groups. The love you show to an animal is never wasted, so we encourage you to see if you can lend a hand in support of these great organizations, too.

Stray Rescue of St. Louis

Aaron Sachs and St. Louis Cardinals Superstar Lars Nootbaar have joined together to help more animals in their area than ever before. They share a commitment to protecting animal welfare, raising awareness and advocating for the well-being of animals in need, and inspiring others to get involved and make a positive impact on the lives of deserving animals. The focus of their collective efforts to help stray animals has been to support Stray Rescue of St. Louis (https://www.strayrescue.org/), a charity dedicated to rescuing and rehabilitating stray animals in the St. Louis area. Stray Rescue provides shelter, medical care, and love to animals who have been abandoned, abused, or neglected. By partnering with Stray Rescue and Lars Nootbaar, Aaron Sachs contributes to their efforts in finding forever homes for these animals and promoting responsible pet ownership.

Mission: “To ensure a bright future for the underdog. To end needless suffering, negligence, and abuse. To serve the City of St. Louis and surrounding metro areas and have the largest inner-city animal sanctuary in the country.

What sets Stray Rescue of St. Louis apart in the animal welfare community near and far? We seek out and take in those who no other organization will help or would simply euthanize because they are too expensive to heal. We take the abandoned, beaten, bred, fought, injured, terrified, defeated, and betrayed. We see beyond their brokenness and are here to pick up the pieces to make these special animals whole again. We see the individual and know that there’s no ‘one size fits all’ treatment plan. The minute they enter our doors, we look in their eyes, and promise them all the second chance they deserve for health, home, commitment, and love. Because these animals come in with a story that would give us all nightmares, it takes them longer to open up, trust, and believe in humankind again. But with patience and time – always on their unique schedule – we see the light shine in their eyes again. Animals have an amazing ability to forgive which never ceases to amaze us.”
