Some of you remember when I was working at SNAP (Spay Neuter Assistance Program) that there was a big upheaval on the board and they ousted the founder (my original boss). I was not happy about this or about the new management and the things they were doing. In the meantime, my old boss has gotten some backing and started another non-profit benefitting animals, Saving Animals Across Borders. His first funding was to do work in Mexico, which he has been doing for about 6 months now. Now he's started working with the local county shelter to help them adopt out animals. Previously they had no adoption program and basically housed them until they put them to sleep unless someone came to pick them up. Most of the dogs that we get in dachshund rescue here come from the shelters in the area. Sean (my old boss) has set up a Saturday adoption program at a local mall to get animals adopted. I know that this is not an optimal situation, but it's a step in the right direction. I've volunteered to work with Sat and help with adoptions. If it goes well, I plan to work one or two Saturdays a month with them. I'm really excited about it. It makes me feel good to be helping animals that might otherwise be PTS find homes. :hearts: I just wanted to share with my DLC friends.
I'm also hoping to help out in the office one or two days a month. They are in dire need of office staff and can't afford to hire anyone. The Business Manager is my old administrator from SNAP and she has set up most of the systems like they were at SNAP so it should be fairly easy for me to go in a help them.
