I am late getting in on this conversation, but wanted to add my 2 cents. As Bruno & a few others statted, some of the smaller shelters, well this can be a God send of help. I see both sides of the coin tho. I know my shelter won;t be listed for several reasons. While I am closed there are still 20 kids there to care for, hospice kids, which eat up a vet bill quick. For all those Santas for my crew over the years, I want to say a heart felt a heart felt Thank You. It has meant so much each year to all of the shelter. Pie or Sara, OMG!!!!! The greeting for Stewart was just such a teary eyed reading this morning.To hear from so many of my Angels at the Bridge just starts my day off great! Thank You. I have returned to nursing, but in a different way, I do home health, hospice with humans. -- Sandi Robinson Heaven Scent Ferret Rescue/Shelter Midland City,Al 36350 334-405-2599 Petfinder AL 132 http://fuzzyslave.com http://www.petfinder.com/shelters/AL132 no kill we always need volunteers Please help us with funding & do a Good Search with us!!
