She got inspired when she worked for one week at animal control. The first thing to help animals was finding a puppy and advertised him on TradeMe. When she saw poor animals in cages while she was working at animal control for a week she knew she had to make a difference and she did. Every week she volunteers at her local animal branch. Faye has found homes for more than 20 kittens and 60 dogs even though seems small made a huge difference in her town. She posts pictures of dogs that are up for adoption on her facebook page “Animal Re-Home Waikato.” She says, “ We picked up a puppy in the pound the first day I went to animal control and then my last day he was still there and I felt really sorry for him.” This caused her to want to make a difference. She receives around 20 new dogs every week. Most of the dogs need a new home. “I’d love to have a career in animal control. I quite enjoy dealing with people and making a difference” she says. She takes hours of her night organizing time for people to see the animals that she posts while most people sit and do nothing. When Faye is at animal control the animals get a new loving home. She spends every Friday at animal control. Faye does things for animals that make her a true inspiration to people all around the

Every day in the United States, approximately 10,000 people and 70,000 puppies and kittens are born. There will never be enough homes for all of these animals, and as a result millions are killed by animal control or die by themselves every year. If people would adopt their pets from a rescue or shelter, and not buy from pet stores or breeders, many lives would be saved and a lot of misery would be averted. Also, you end up with a great animal.

Since being involved in a dog rescue organization, I’ve learned a lot about how an animal control shelter works. They are not just people who will take your dog if they get out of the yard. They are animal lovers who try their best to educate the community pet population control and help homeless pets find a new home. I sat down with a friend of mine who I met through the animal rescue group with both volunteer with to find out more about a day in the life of a shelter worker.

Hello everyone, my name is Katrina Clark. So, imagine one day you were ripped away from your family and from your home with nowhere to go, in the street, cold, starving, and have absolutely no idea where your next meal is going to come from. Well, for over 7 million animals each year that is the sad reality. I personally own around ten cats that were either from a shelter or on the street starving. I also own two dogs that I have found on the road that had been dumped and left to die. My experience with adopting these animals has truly opened my eyes to how many animals are truly in need of homes. All of these animals are sweet blessings that I wouldn’t trade for the world. If I can find loving furry friends that I love, then so can you. With

    Thirty years ago, Best Friend Animal Sanctuary was founded when a group of people had a vision to create a sanctuary for abandoned and abused animals. The main co-founders include: Francis Battista, Judah Battista, Silva Battista, Gregory Castle, Gabriel DePeyer, Jana DePeyer, Steven Hirano, Faith Maloney, Anne Mejia, and Cyrus Mejia.  With very little money and no master plan, they set out to create something very ambitious.  One of their major goals was to create a no-kill animal sanctuary, but unfortunately they didn’t have much of a voice until their sanctuary grew larger.  They didn’t want to become famous or wealthy, but do the right thing for creatures who could not speak or act for themselves.  To take the next step, in 1984, the founders made a promise to one another and the animals they cares for, that they would build a sanctuary in Southern Utah.  Their mission was to bring about a time when there are no more homeless pets.  They would dedicate their lives to housing and finding homes for unwanted pets while spreading

I am helping out as a volunteer at Philly ACCT (Animal Care and Control Team of Philadelphia) located at 111 W Hunting Park Ave, Philadelphia, PA 19140. Tons of animals are abandoned love during these precious times and I want to be the one to change that. I know what its like to have a family that despise you and try to belittle you. I have a dog myself but I would never dare do that to him. Animals and humans alike both have a heart that yearns for love so why do we abuse each other? At Philly ACCT you can be the change that can put a smile on an animals face once

As an animal lover, it pains me immensely to see an animal in distress. Animals subjected to abuse have no one to defend them, therefore humans need to speak out as their voices. Unfortunately, in our world, many people have a lack self-restraint and control; their defenceless animals become punching bags. I devote my life to helping animals in any way I can. Often times the abused horses and dogs sent to my barn require immense care and attention. I consistently provide the support these underprivileged animals crave. One cannot imagine the horrors that animals rescued and given to my property have faced, but my boundless love and guardianship always goes a vast way. Humans should strive to make eliminating animal

Countless lives locked away in cages and forgotten about have overwhelmed our society, it has left blood stains on our history as a species and if history has taught us anything, it’s that we have a choice to change our ways of adjusting to situations. A war which was fought in pursuit of ending such criminal means, yet we as human beings do little to nothing to end the horrific crimes of animal deaths in shelters. It is no secret that this world has become infused with problems that have extended from one side of the globe to the other. Amongst these problems lies a terrible truth: nearly every year, sums of almost eight million cats and dogs have been placed in shelters around the world. Out of these vast numbers, half will be

Brogan & Patrick Manufacturing Corp. recently participated in an event organized by the Lakeland Shelter called Second Chances. Brogan-Patrick sponsored a table for 10 people to support the cause of providing a better life for lost and stray animals. The event was also an opportunity for the organization to strengthen its relationship with the local community.

Throughout history, many people have contributed to the understanding of human origin and evolution. One such contributor was the paleontologist and anthropologist, Louis Leakey. He studied fossils in East Africa and made many conclusions about the origin of humanity based on the fossils he found there. Although Leakey’s theories were controversial at the time, he is now known as a huge contributor to knowledge about the rise of the humanity.

People need to stop dog cruelty. Dogs all over the world are being abused, neglected, and killed by people who don’t like them, and we need to help them. Dogs are being put into puppy mills and dog fight against their will, and being killed in the process. There are cases all over the United States that dogs are being abused.

Many people understand the awful living conditions in animal shelters. Upon entering, one immediately notices the stench of unwashed animals, the dirt and grime that coat the walls, and the pleading, desperate faces of the inhabitants. While this is a serious issue, there is a far more important one at hand: the euthanization, or killing, of healthy animals in shelters. In a population chart of dogs in the United States, “over a third (2.4 million) died in shelters”(Ortega-Pacheco & Jiménez-Coello 235). The high number of dogs killed in shelters emphasizes the need to prevent shelter animal euthanasia. In order to save the lives of healthy shelter animals, methods such as initiating adoption programs, desexing companion animals, increasing volunteer and staff effectiveness, and raising community awareness must be enforced.

Do you own a pet? Do you know anyone that has a pet? Chances are, you do. According to the ASPCA, the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, 37-47% of people in America own dogs, and 30-37% own a cat. Most of us could agree we would do anything for them! Because, even when we don’t show them compassion, they will provide unconditional love. So there is no reason for us to shove them too the side. But when people do, they will likely end up in a shelter. This meaning, six, seven, even eight million dogs are waiting

The Humane Society of Marshall County is committed to working in the community and finding loving, permanent homes for their animals. For a second year in a row, they have been selected to participate in the “Clear the Shelters” campaign, which is sponsored by WPSD. This event is a community-drive initiative working with animal shelters across the country to provide a pet adoption drive for shelter animals. This is the third year for this event,
