Super-Adoption, Community Saturation Apparent........

Well it feels good to be back in the saddle, I'm using the voice writer; so look for strange things to appear. I'm sure by now most of you have read that adoptions were down 46%. Some would blame it on good weather, some would blame it on the economy; Oreo feels the truth is somewhere in between. The community is staggering under a tremendous debt load, some folks can't feed the kids, they certainly cannot afford pet food. In every area where No Kill has been attempted; the community becomes saturated, rescue groups are overflowed and volunteers are overwhelmed. It has taken Washoe County only two years to reach this point. Our shelter which was to last 30 years, has become overcrowded in three.
The local grooming parlors are getting clients who don't even know they have a pit bull. I will add more later, we are really just testing the voice writer. Pictured is Burley Dog at the groomer.....
