There's some VERY interesting information in Nathan Winograd's blog this time. Please go to the link and read it... it's really too long to add here. S http://www.nathanwinograd.com/?py8 Sheltering News From Around the Country March 6, 2009 by Nathan J. Winograd The Revolution Marches On, Cont?d I?ve blogged about success in communities in which the No Kill initiative was led by animal control. Shelters I?ve worked with have had some very progressive results: Porter County Animal Control in Indiana reduced killing rated by 94%, Montgomery County Animal Control in Texas went from an 80% rate of killing to an 18% rate of killing, Caddo Parish Animal Control in Louisiana has seen adoption/redemption rates increase 245%, and others are striving equally hard toward No Kill. This is on top of Tompkins, Reno, and Charlottesville, and is by no means a comprehensive list. -- Stormy Hope www,carpoc.org AKC Legislative Liaison, GSDCA GSDs, and more, clubs ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2008.
