This is the day!!!!

Well today is the day we kick off the start of our fundraising for the new animal shelter our church is going to build for this county and surrounding area. I have been googling all morning getting leads on grants available and other information to help in our venture. The clock has started and my goal of Groundbreaking in December of this year is in sight. All things are possible!!!I have been testing the waters with people I know in town as to our project and I have met with only enthusiam for our project. We won't let them down. The huge ammount of feral cats and dumped dogs is unimaginable and because we are a rural area it is impossible to catch these people so the only thing we can do is try to help rescue those populations and start an agressive spay/neuter program to address the issue. Our shelter will be a NO KILL and all animals will be dealt with humanely. Only severely injured and animals in obvious distress will be humanely euthanized. all others, even ill-tempered animals will have a home with us until an adoptive family comes along for the ones able to go to new homes.We will have large animal facilities also as there are horses, goats and other larger animals, including wildlife, in need in our area. Please help us achieve our goal, it will mean a better community for us and the humane treatment of all animals in our area. Keep watching, I'll be updating our progress in the weeks to come.
