My Shelter is Closing... (Long!) - Page 3

The shelter taking the cats is. From their website, "We are a true no-kill shelter." I'm not totally sure what that means because we were a no-kill shelter. I don't know about the shelter willing to take the dogs but I don't think the director would even consider it if they weren't.

Is it a city or county shelter? If so then the board members's pockets are padded with money that should be going to the shelter. If not then I'd have all board members fired and new ones brought in that will raise money. That is ridiculous!

We are a private non-profit organization. All of the board members are volunteers. Staff members are the only ones who get paid.

ALL OF THE ANIMALS HAVE BEEN PLACED!

Several rescues volunteered to take a few dogs. They said if they didn't get placed then they would take them. We placed every single dog in a home, with the exception of Jethro who really needs the coonhound rescue and someone who knows his breed.

All the cats with the exception of the sick cats and the mom and babies were adopted. The sick kittens and mom with babies are still going to HELP in Missouri.
I'm overjoyed! But then again I'm really depressed. That means I'm out of a job sooner.

What am I going to do with my life now? I've devoted myself to the shelter for the last nearly two years!
