Wonderful facility, with an on site spay/neuter clinic, but sadly WAY more healthy, socialized cats and dogs than homes for them. I'll never forgot a young woman who was adopting a dog lamenting the fact she would have to be spayed before she could take her home. She said she "just wanted the dog to "experience motherhood" and she could find good homes for the pups". I told her to take a look around the kennel, over 40 dogs, mostly under 2yrs old, all were puppies that "went to good homes". So glad to see responsible pet ownership improve in my lifetime. All the way to 50k next year!Jeannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6833186746180765380.post-59090844227228159792010-05-10T20:23:18.229-07:002010-05-10T20:23:18.229-07:00Yay for saving all the kittehs!

She's responsible for turning Laurie into the kitten wrangler extraordinaire we all know and love. On April 1, darling Drewey died, and that month the shelter 'didn't have to euthanize a single healthy/adoptable cat.' Coincidence? You decide. :)Lyndanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6833186746180765380.post-73930936685836695742010-05-10T16:28:35.502-07:002010-05-10T16:28:35.502-07:00G, she is gorgeous, to be sure.

The HS is working to promote a trap spay/neuter release program, so in time, the numbers should improve. Actually, they already have. <br /><br />Although the HS tries, It's hard to find places for feral cats and kittens. "Adoptable/Healthy" cats are easier to find spots for with rescues.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18092292948684169868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6833186746180765380.post-75621222668396615492010-05-10T14:08:15.295-07:002010-05-10T14:08:15.295-07:00Hooray!!!
