So glad to hear all the happy endings, although I know there is many that aren't (don't get into a no kill shelter).

We offer people food if they are running low, we offer a low cost spay/neuter clinic, and will even help with vaccines.We also have a dog trainer and offer training classes. Its the key to helping people keep their animals in their homes. We do admit if we do have to assist one who is beyond medical help, in pain and suffering. That is the only humane thing to do. Since I have been with them for a little over 2 yrs we have had one who had stomach cancer and was wasting away, the vet said that even taking him to a bigger city with more advance equipment wouldn't help a dog that was 12 yrs old and that far gone. It was a hard decision but one that had to be made.This is not something that happens often. Yes the kennels are larger than normal because this is where they have to live day in and out. Our cats are free roaming in a building all to themselves. We pride ourselves on our cleanliness. The key to healthy animals is making sure it stays disinfected and disease free. Its not easy being a No Kill because people like the one that made the comment that made me want to write this blog post feel like we are doing more harm then good yet the public is the ones begging for more no kills. Also when you have a animal control that constantly bashes you because you refuse to take all their large breed dogs. But I am proud to volunteer for a No kill and i will continue to go with ma to educate young children, adults and more. Education is key to proper pet parenting. If it wasn't then their wouldn't be so many pet bloggers out their on the world wide web.<br /> Carma Poodalehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02993146110262310568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8948093056109362121.post-65223765948147915512013-03-09T18:27:05.915-06:002013-03-09T18:27:05.915-06:003 adoptions is really amazing.

We have some who may come in, get spayed or neutered and are adopted before we can even get them on Petfinder.

No kill shelters...Thank you for writing this Carma! No kill shelters, when done right, are a blessing to all the animals who live in them. Most, if not all of the no kill shelters in my area are cageless, or at least have larger spaces for the animals to move around in (including the cats!) Education is a huge step in the right direction. We (as animal rescuers) need to provide more resources for the public as well. Pet Food Pantries, low cost basic veterinary care can make all the difference in the world to a family who loves their pets but due to economic difficulties cannot afford to keep their pets. Access to behavioral advice before the problem gets so bad the family wants to surrender Fido or Fluffy is another huge step. Most of the cats surrendered to the shelter I worked at were due to behavioral issues that could easily be resolved. <br /><br />Of course you can get into the politics of no kill shelters (like the organization in my area that refuses to admit anything sick or injured simply because they don't want to have to face the possibility of euthanizing a dying animal; that would make the 'no kill' technically not true). I think these shelters are the best though, because you never know how long it might take for the right animal and the right person to connect. It all breaks my heart.

The ones who have been our guests for months. Last week we had 3 adoptions. Abby a 1 year guest, Jackson 18 months & Niki & Ned a bonded pair who had been with us for almost a year. I beleive in no kill and will work to educate the public & care for the ones no one wants...yet.

For those who think this kind of dog is unadoptable they should just look at him now.

He weighed105lbs, was on Prozac and was a real handful. Lucky for him, and for us it was a no kill shelter. He'd been adopted once and brought back and even though he was a handsome yellow lab, his size and behavior put him on the unlikely to be adopted list. Until we can get our overpopulation problem under control and get homes found for each of these animals, I'm grateful there are no kill shelters without them, we wouldn't have our Jack.SlimDoggyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10830198538573500213noreply@blogger.com
