It is the only shelter in our area and it provides a safe haven for the animals that would otherwise suffer terribly, become malnourished or die a horrific death. This area is not known for its love of household animals but thank goodness we have this shelter and the volunteers who do make a difference in many animals' lives. Without them, homeless, abandoned, neglected and /or abused animals would not have a chance. Between their small budget and donations, they are able to provide quality care for all the animals in their charge. They should win because of all they are able to succeed despite the adversity they face in this county.
