This is mostly for Rene and for those who operate animal shelters. I watch an animal channel on TV and realize there are many animal shelters. Here in Utah, there is the Humane Society and the city shelters. I honestly don't like the shelters because they have dogs and cats for about five to seven days before they are put to sleep. The Humane Society is a little better. And there is this Animal Sanctuary, a no kill shelter. I never been there. But I would like to operate a no-kill shelter of my own. What I would do is rescue unwanted cats and dogs, have them fixed, get their vaccinations, and clean. I plan on training the dogs so that they can find good homes. Rene, do you only rescue cats or do yo bring in dogs too. I love cats, but I also love dogs. I plan on getting four(two purebreds and two mixed breeds.)when I get a house. I want to take in both purebreds and mixed breeds. I've been to the shelters and most of the mixed breeds are there. Any dog; whether it be a rottweiler, german shephard, golden retriever, or mixed, can be a great companion if we train them. Dogs are like children. If they are not taught the bad from the good then, we have a problem. An mixed breeds can be trained to be service dogs and other things. I think that if I were to go into a shelter right now and see a good dog, even if its not trained, I would adopt it. But other people don't think that way. They think an untrained dog is no good. So, Rene, how do you get started on opening a resuce shelter?
