Amber, you're mom is right...no kill shelters ARE stepping up, but, individuals are needed too. My friend Kim in MI is taking Scottie, so you can rest that at least he is safe. My guess is that most if not all will be shipped to no kills all over the country...it's made it all over the yahoo groups in fewer than 2 days. The big adult dogs (especially the hounds) are the ones that I worry about.
