Just found a new contest for rescues

Tonight's mail held a notice from Care2 about a $10,000 contest for animal rescues. I've posted the link to the site in the sidebar - so go vote for your favorite rescue!

Today we visited a brand new shelter - and of course I felt saddened by the number of dogs and cats confined there. Especially the dogs in their brand new "cells." They were soooo small. I hope when our local rescue finally has the funds for a better facility the kennels will be a bit larger.

The cats had it a little better - good sized rooms filled with beds and climbing toys - each room housing 6 or 8 cats. All they were missing was human laps to curl up on.

One bright spot! They were all warm and fed - and this is a no-kill shelter. So hopefully their confinement will lead to a good life in a loving home.
