My local one did something really great !!!!

Just had to get attention.

They were low on funds, and volenteers. So the one-and-only ( ) volenteer talked to the biggest newspaper in town, and the paper donated the WHOLE FRONT PAGE !!!! IN COLOUR !!!!!

( thank you so much, Mr/Mrs newspaper dudes, you rule !!! )

In the middle of the page it said: UNLOVED, UNWANTED and had a plea for funds and volunteers.

So the shelter put in 28 adoptable cat pics with gender/age/breed under them. They put in 6 dogs with pics/gender/age/breed.

ALL THE ANIMALS GOT ADOPTED !!!!!! And one of them got given back to its previous owner, who recognised it from the newspaper. That owner gave the shelter a generous donation, too.

Isn't that great? ! ? ! You should try talking to your newspaper to see if,( on a day that they were short of news, perhaps ) they would be willing to donate a page or two.

Best of luck !
