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…

homelessness in New York, is: “why don’t the homeless just stay in shelters?” It is more complex than many New Yorkers imagine–both the problems and the purported solutions. For me, the more important question is: ‘why shelters at all?’ As someone who has spent a lot of time with the homeless–as a volunteer EMT and as someone who lived on the streets for 3 nights–I know firsthand how we have failed our homeless population. Providing shelters, both private and public, may seem like a solution…

street. Many of these animals end up in either two types of shelters: High-kill or No-kill. A High-kill shelter is a public animal shelter that hosts rescue organizations, in contrast, a No-kill shelter is a private animal shelter that do not kill, or euthanize, any animals they receive. High-kill are more beneficial to help the case of over-population in the amount of animals left on the street than No-kill shelters. High-kill shelters follow strict regulations to try and keep populating down,…

like animals? The animal shelter is running dangerously low on food and other supplies they need to take care of its animals. Volunteers at the shelter are very worried about what will happen to the animals if the shelter runs out of supplies. Would you please help by giving money, supplies that we need. If the animals do not get there food they will starve and get really sickly looking and no one will want them. The terms “humane society” and “SPCA” are generic; shelters using those names are…

A great variation of studies have been conducted to show the rise if unadopted animals, and over- crowding in animal shelters. One author writes about how despite the workers best intentions most animals do not get adopted Turner, Berry, and MacDonald (2012). However, Fournier (2004) suggest animals show human like behaviors and with training humans will be more likely to adopt sheltered animals. Therefor, preventing a further surplus in unadopted animals. Belpedio (2010) shows studies how…

help change that. Every community offers opportunities for their members to get involved and help in some way. The most effective way to help would be to volunteer at a homeless shelter and or a blood drive. This way you can help the people that might not be in the best situation as you are. Volunteering at a homeless shelter would be a great way to help out the community because it provides a temporary home for the people on the streets to get back on their feet. Millions of people around the…

debate between Kill shelters, and No-kill shelters has begun. Let me just present you with a Neutral argument. Kill shelters and No-kill shelters share the same benefit, keeping animals for a period of time whilst caring for them, and trying to get them adopted. People that work at kill shelters, necessarily do not hate animals, or want them to die, but unfortunately for them, Cruel ones pay well, while the Perfect way, does not most of the time.And for people and the shelters, Time is…

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…
