I hope that the publicity Lin Marie is getting can be used, somehow, to encourage funding for shelters and rescues.

As you said once, Rebecca - there are enough of both - but they need MONEY to function at their best!

I would hope someone like Oprah might have her on the show, and help all people realize that shelters and rescues don't run for free.

I don't know where you nearest pet store is - but I wonder if there could be some sort of exchange or sponsorship, example, the store arranges spaying, neutering and shots for the strays you help, and in turn you had out coupons or flyers for the store when people adopt (and the store could help with that also).

Just thinking of some kind of private enterprise sponsorship.
