My county has a Humane Society for Boone County, and they are trying to save the homeless animals in the county. It is a fairly new organization; it was established in September 2007 by citizens of Boone County, and they are currently operating by taking homeless animals into foster homes. Some day they want to have enough dollars to build a shelter building, but for now they have generous volunteers who help out.
If you live in or near Boone County and you want to help, you can visit their web site for more information.
I am very lucky that I did not go to a shelter, because then Karen might not have discovered me and found out what a wonderful Library Cat I would make! Still, it gives me warm fuzzies to know that there are humans out there who work to make the lives of homeless cats (and dogs) homeFULL!
I think June should also be Animal Shelter Worker Appreciation Month, to thank all of the people who give their time and moneys and homes to take care of cats and other animals who have nowhere else to go. Thank you, Animal Helpers! We love you!
For your viewing pleasure:
I am Bossing from my Thorntown Public Library Command Center. I am standing by the phone, ready to answer any questions on library policy and procedure that may arise.
Proud to be adopted,
