Michel: Animal welfare should be shelter's bottom line

Link: Michel: Animal welfare should be shelter's bottom line.
The Central Texas Animal Alliance and Lorri Michel asked me to help with their website. It started me to thinking seriously about how to improve the homeless animal situation here in Alaska.  While I'm sure we don't have the resources or some of the same problems faced by the people of Austin, we could do better  - A lot better. Our independent rescue groups are taxed to the max.  The purebred rescue stays busy and the mushers do what they can.  Yet, pushing to implement some of the No-Kill strategies being referred to by Lorri Michel in this editorial would certainly improve our lives.  Nothing breaks my heart more than the plea from Dog and Cat Rescue to make room for more because in 2 days the shelter is "cleaning house" and euthanizing KILLING all the animals.

It is a short commentary and well-written.  Will only take a few minutes to read - please go read it!

IT SURE DOES!  Mendosa is great.  I'm glad he's a comrade in lizard spit.
