Let me see if I can tell you everything we are doing now.
We have started a microchip program for our rescues and for those who want to have their pets microchipped they can have that done for a small fee. We now are sending all of our rescues to obedience class before adoption. When adopted the new owners gets to continue the obedience class until graduation. All of our rescues go to their new owners with a no cost medical insurance plan. We are now scheduled to take 18 dogs on the Dixie Dog Transport to Massachusetts at the end of the month. This will be a regular part of our operation from now on. We hope to have our spay neuter clinic open by the years' end. Our Pet Finder website is up and running. We have an add in the weekly mewspaper every week. We now have a team of educators to go into our public schools to teach the need for spaying and neutering of animals and the proper care that should be taken of animals brought into the family as pets. The fight against animal abuse and why it should be reported. The classes will last about 45 minutes and each school will host our program once a month.
The reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of anyone involved in dog fighting has grown to $5,000. That is all I can think of at this time. The Old Fella Burke County had its first birthday last July. I wonder where we will be on our second birthday?
