Hello, I am starting a group for people interested in doing what they can to help shelter dogs. I work closely with Nash County Animal Friends on Facebook. The founder of this page works tirelessly for free to save the lives of all the animals in the shelter. Cats and dogs. 2 week fostering is very valuable. It gives out of state rescue groups the time they need to prepare a dog or cat to transport legally across state lines. Drivers are also very helpful to transport animals in a timely manner …

I just moved to Dilworth from LKN and am still becoming familiar with the area. That being said I think this group would be a great way for those who don't own Bulldogs to join and come to the …

So I'm starting a Meetup group for other passionate, responsible dog owners that would like to meet others like them. The idea is to get together at least once a month in someone's backyard. (That backyard should have a fence!) Everyone will be resposible for having their pets up-to-date on shots, and cleaning up afte …

Let's end the killing of cats. The rate of killing has dropped rapidly with increasing spay/neuter of owned cats.  If one percent of the population adopted a cat and we continue TNR for feral cats,, the killing would end. We as cat lovers can affect policies individually and through organisations if we work together for adoption, education, sterilisation, and collaboration. There is so much great new information about caring for homeless and free-roaming cats. Both individuals and institutions c …
