Ever consider selling swampland in the Florida Everglades? 🙂

(Of course, I’m kidding. You go!!)

Thanks Pamela. So pleased to see you’ve reached and passed your target:) Your local shelter certainly does sound like a place for most other shelters to aspire to being as good as. And I’m sure a set up like that makes a world of difference to the dogs and prospective owners. Wouldn’t it be wonderful if one day there was no need for shelters … dreams are free:)

The Nova Scotia SPCA has closed the dog kennels to the general public for a lot of these reasons. When you go in to adopt a dog you choose from the adoption board, which is a wall covered with photos and mini bios of each dog currently available. A volunteer will then retrieve the dog you are interested in and you are allowed to take him or her outside for a walk. It’s a very different system and I think it works fairly well.

When I visited the Calgary Humane Society, I was very impressed. Their set-up sounds very similar to the one in Tompkins and I imagined was inspired by Mr. Winograd’s work. I certainly does make a huge difference. First impressions are everything, as they say.

I’m so glad that so many people are out there doing good things for animals. Hey Dawn, way to go with that pantry!!!

Good luck Pam! I’m a big fan of Nathan and his No Kill Movement so I’ve read about Tompkins County SPCA. I wish I could help, but I’m working on starting an organization that will will keep pets in my area in their homes (1 part of the No Kill formula) firstly by opening a pet food pantry. My plan was to have it running in the new year, but recent flood damage in my area has me working to start earlier to help those families affected. I just love that there are so many ways for people to make a difference!

What a cool idea! When payday gets here, I’ll try to drop some in the hat! I wish we had a walk like that here.

Who can resist having a donation tripled? I’m there.
I’ve given away many copies of Redemption with fantastic reactions from everyone.
