For the past two years "Re-pets" has saved the lives of thousands of animals by snatching them from uncertain futures. But now the animal rescue is itself facing uncertain times as money for the project is drying up.

It's something "Re-Pets" owner Tracy Moser has hoped she wouldn't have to do that's close the door on thousands of animals that need her. But she says with bills mounting and the cost of animal adoption steadily increasing and she may not have a choice.

"We are at the point where we don't have the money to stay open. We don't have the money to vet the animals or to rescue the animals."

An emotional Tracy Moser has been fighting for months to keep her fledgling animal rescue afloat. But because of high expenses animal expenses along with rent the non-profit's going under.

"Just the basic medication, the food, the special needs of the surgeries that they need on average is $200 dollars an animal to get them adopted."

Moser estimates the current veterinarian bill for the animals "Re-Pets" has rescued is at more than $6,000 dollars. The current income from "Re-Pets" only covers basics which has Moser likely closing up when the store's lease runs out in May.

Even the "Re-Pets" Thrift store which opened this past Spring has failed to generate enough revenue to keep "Re-Pets" in business. Moser says the loss of a place like "Re-Pets" will be felt immediately.

"What we're doing is taking a tremendous load off of our city because they don't have to pay somebody, they don't have to pay the taxes , they don't have to worry about the stray animals running around because we fix these animals."

Lorri Hare of The Bowling Green-Warren County Animal Shelter says the loss will be felt the most in smaller towns with money-strapped shelters.

"Especially some of the more rural shelters that realistically the animals she goes there and pulls, that's that animals only shot."

The store has rescued and adopted out more than 3,000 animals in the past 2 years. So it's tough for Moser to even think about seeing it all end.

"Its more than just a pet store, its more than just a place to adopt an animal. Its a place to go to feel good about either volunteering or donating or just to spend time with these homeless animals."

Moser says if she does close "Re-Pets" down next year the thrift store will remain open. Her hope is that if the animal rescue is shut down its only temporary and with some heavy fundraising "Re-Pets" can be re-opened sometime in the future.
