No-kill shelter

Do you have a dog? Do you love your dog just like he’s the member of your family? At the animal shelter we look at every dog and cat the same as you look at your dog and cat. But at this point in time, the animal shelter is having a shortage of food and other supplies to keep the animals alive and well. One reason why we need the community to make donations to our cause is without the animal shelter the animals who have been hurt or beaten or starved would have nowhere to go to make sure they…

would increase the amount of money homeless people are receiving. In addition, more people would begin to talk about the homeless individuals. This would raise awareness and could possibly lead to new laws that would increase the number of homeless shelters. There are various reasons why people became homeless. A fifty-four year old man named Mike Droney became homeless…

It has been over 50 years since Lyndon B. Johnson declared a war on poverty in his 1964 State of the Union address. Since then, our nation has failed to eradicate poverty in the United States. Proof of failure is displayed in high poverty rates, an abundance of homelessness, and inflated crime. Poverty rates fluctuate throughout the years, but the overall trend shows a decline. A common belief is that poverty has improved because the previous poverty rate was 19 percent, and now it has…

There used to be a cross dressing homeless man named Leslie Cochran who lived here that recently passed away. He was so full of life, happy and he always spoke his mind. He became such a local icon that businesses and dishes are now being named after him. He was a vital part of Austin’s Culture and I believe that goes for all homeless people. Austin homeless people are vital to our culture. I don't know how I'd feel if I walked to school and there was no homeless guy sleeping on the bench at my…

and Urban Development (HUD) produces two types of estimates of the homeless population with the Veteran’s Administration (VA) collaborating on those involving veterans. The first is a point-in-time count of homeless shelters, usually on a day in the last week of January when the shelter populations are the highest and the second is an estimate of the total number of people who experience homelessness at some point during the year. (Veterans and Homelessness, November 2015) Based off these…

Pet stores that overshadow shelters put shelter dogs in danger of euthanization. Shelters are not as visited as pet stores, even though the shelter dogs often need more help than the pet store dogs. These dogs often need help because they were found on the streets or maybe even rescued from an abusive home. Shelters put down thousands of animals every year when they are unable to find a home. Pet stores do not have this problem. Dogs from shelters are often not as appealing as purebred dogs…

We have learned largely by life experiences that hard work payoff, but when we are broken by hard times, some hard working individuals seem to forget their knowledge and self-worth. Consequently, this lack self-esteem leads most of the hard working individuals to make poor choices. Ultimately, this leads those individuals to chaos and disastrous events that destroy their family security, dreams and achievements. We must remember homelessness can happen to anyone at any time, but it is an…

I think there should be shelters that are big enough for men and women to have their own side. In some cities, there are only shelters for women and children, but not men. But, you also have the shelters who only have spaces for men. However, there are not many for men and children. It is very rare for men to have children with them at the shelters. In the biography The Pursuit of Happiness, a struggling father and his young son went from shelter to shelter before he could afford a motel.…

During my childhood and lower teens, I was very involved in church. I would go to every event or meeting put on by our church. Watching certain senior youth members, I didn’t understand why they would just come to the fun events. I would only see them during our mission trips or camps, but never at business or regular meetings. Then I promised myself that I would always stay as active as I could. Then in high school, I feel for this Baptist guy, who was just unsure about religion in general. I…
