Shelter Response Paper

During a crisis of pet overpopulation, it right to kill animals simply because they are not wanted? Or is it ever right thing to do? The United States is faced with the problem of what should be done with the excess of stray animals. This is a complex thing to solve, but that doesn’t mean killing the animals for space is right. Stray dogs and cats have just as much right to a good home as pets that already have owners. No-Kill shelters are beneficial, they provide a safe, pet-friendly environment that would help solve the problems of pet homelessness and overpopulations, as a result of spay and neuter being provided as well.

There are numerous points of view on resiliency, as non‑governmental associations (NGOs) perceive that individuals ' capacity to better withstand and recuperate from calamities is basic to maintaining improvement. NGOs, contributors and worldwide reaction groups are attempting to characterize resiliency in their terms. CRS characterizes resiliency as "the capacity of people, communities and institutions to advance integral human development in the face of shocks, cycles and trends" (2014, p.2). The vulnerable individuals themselves best characterize strength and resiliency. What vulnerable individuals accept helps most to their versatility limit is discriminating to current dialogs on resiliency. Contributors and NGOs may have their own meaning of the term; however, an understanding of what it really means to individuals looking to make their community resilient is crucial to outlining successful Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) and recovery activities in development, risk reaction and catastrophe recuperation programs (CRS, 2014). The danger of not utilizing the

Imagine if you had to restart your life, new shelter, new job, new lifestyle. Well locals or people in the Philippines had to restart their life when an earthquake with an magnitude of 7.1 hit the country and destroyed people’s lives. The earthquake had a devastating 7.1 magnitude. The earthquake hit the Philippines on October 15th, 2013. The likely culprit of the earthquake was the East Bohol Fault because the two tectonic plates were sliding against each other and the creates an earthquake. Sadly, earthquake killed more than 90 people. Ports, schools, and airports were damaged. A hospital collapsed then that lead to a killing of 18 people. Children were also injured at sports complexes because people rushed the exits when the the ground started to shake. Lastly, 5 people were killed in a landslide that was triggered from the earthquake. What really matters though is how people respond to the

A social factor that influenced the severity of the earthquake was where people chose to live. Haiti is located on fault lines, where the epicentre of the earthquake is and where the earthquake is most severe. The earthquake’s epicentre was estimated to be around a mere 25 km away from the Port-au-prince, the capital of Haiti and home to ¼ of the population. The closer the area was to the epicentre, the more intense the earthquake was and the greater the destruction. The area was also urbanised with many buildings, due to the great number of people who resided there which meant that many buildings were destroyed and many people were killed.

What: In Nepal near Kathmandu there was a 7.8 magnitude earthquake. It killed about 8,000 people and injured nearly 18,000 people. It affected 8 million

No-Kill Shelters are very different from Kill and Low-Kill Shelters. For example, Maddie’s Fund wrote that no-kill shelters save all healthy and treatable dogs and cats. They will even keep the animal until it gets adopted. Around 7.6 million dogs and cats are sent to an animal shelter every year. But only 4.9 animals are saved mostly by no-kill shelters. However, if the animal is unhealthy or untreatable, they will put it down. Also, they only take in animals that are adoptable. Pet360 stated, “They do not accept animals without appointments and have a very thorough screening process. Additionally, these shelters often will not accept animals over a certain age,

Unfortunately this process is not without obstacles and we are a long way off from reaching an ideal system. Lack of resources and funding may leave these clients for an indefinite amount of time in such a program. Supportive housing is growing more limited every day with the increasing homeless population in NYC. Clients with histories of substance abuse or with specific criminal backgrounds such as arson or sexual offenses are close to impossible to be placed. There is also a large number of undocumented clients who are not eligible to housing due to their status. These individuals do not have access to any benefits or entitlements, making it impossible to be placed in supportive housing. There are programs to help them go back to their home

On October 15th an earthquake killed nearly 90 people. In the Philippines killed nearly 200 and displacing tens of thousands of dollars. The quake wrecked about more than 45,000 homes. These earthquakes have affected many people, damaging homes and even lives and causes millions of dollars for repairs. The quake, the strongest to hit the disaster-prone country in recent years, struck Bohol on October 15th. Felt across several neighbouring provinces, more than 2,500 aftershock have rippled through the region since.(Documents

The housing assistance programs started back in the Great Depression period in 1937 when Congress passed the U.S. Housing Act that represented the start of federal housing assistance in the United States. The program’s purpose was to provide funds to develop public housing units for low-income tenants that were maintained and managed by the local public housing authorities. (Barrymore, 2008) During this time, the nation’s housing stock had very poor quality in most parts of the country. Housing conditions were insufficient. Poor families had to deal with poor conditions such as the lack of hot water or dilapidation. Luckily, public housing was an improvement for those who had the chance to get it. In 1965, HUD was created by the Congress, Housing

Natural disasters such as a tsunami, wildfire, hurricane, and an earthquake can destroy a home in a matter of minutes and even seconds. Everything they have paid and worked for is completely ruined or gone. Most people recover, but the ones that were already necessitous suffer because they now have to start from scratch when they already did not have an abundance of resources, to begin with. When a natural disaster has done damage to a huge percentage of people; it is hard to get the help they need because several people are in desperate need of assistance. Although some people may have support from their families, there's many that have nowhere to turn to. Also, Not being able to rebuild your home due to no insurance or not finding a way to relocate elsewhere can leave you with no choice but to stay anywhere they feel safe or find

I passionately believe in helping and giving back to others, consequently I made a year long project as the president of Interact Club to make a ShelterBox fundraiser. Along with a girl I met during camp, we were the first Interactors to take initiative for a cause that Rotary had always helped. Still, I was like a domesticated turkey lost in the entrance of a maze: not knowing where to start. Though my goal of raising awareness in my community only further pushed me to contact outsiders . However, my partner and I had many incidents of miscommunications and finding a team with the same goal and work ethic was rather difficult.

After an apocalyptic event has occurred, there are ten people left in a bomb shelter of sorts. Only enough food, water, and supplies remains to allow life for seven of the survivors. The remaining ten have three main objectives once they are allowed to leave the shelter; To establish a government, create a viable society, and to repopulate the Earth. The remaining people include a seventy year old minister, a laboratory scientist, an electrician, a female vocalist, an armed policeman, a hysterical pregnant woman, the pregnant woman’s husband, a famous writer, a professional athlete, and a highschool girl. No other assumptions are to be made about the people. Due to there only being enough life support for seven people, three must be eliminated. In my opinion, I think it would be in the future of Earth’s best interest to eliminate the pregnant woman, the famous writer, and the athlete. I believe this because

When a small town in rural Maine learns that a company wants to build an eight bed shelter that handles individuals that suffer from substance abuse. The community becomes uneasy with this, feeling that it could bring the town down, we are a tourist town this could drive the tourist away. The town also fears that allowing this shelter would bring trouble to the town, from alcoholics, and drug usage.

My visit at the shelter last was very meaningful. I enjoyed talking to Christina and Tina. I just wanted to mention to you that these ladies have great leadership skills. They are the reason my visit was worthwhile coming to the shelter that day. I was very glad I came, as I was able to get an abundance of information I needed for my future needs of this practicum. They were very helpful, and I really appreciated their assistance. They truly showed great leadership skills by helping me from the heart, as I could tell they did whatever they possibly could to help me, even though they had no idea that I was coming there, except the fact that a practicum student will be there. I was really impressed with their efforts to help me as much as they
