What a selfless loving dream you have! I don't know much about that, but i've been toying with the idea of one day buying some land and starting a dog park. I wonder, if your farm would have the room for it, if you could maybe do that too, and just charge like a dollar or two for people to use it, and you could use the proceeds to help with the shelter. Plus, you'd get a lot more word of mouth about the shelter from all the dog park visitors. It was just a thought. Hope everything works out. Keep us posted.
