As many of you know, I am deeply involved in this effort to rebuild the local animal shelter in Rockland County NY (about 30 miles north of NYC).

I appreciate so greatly the encouragement and money donations of my many friends and fellow Care2 members and I would only ask that if any of you live nearby and/or have friends and family in the area, that you might pass this PR article on for this worthy efforts Thank yo all so very much for your support and help on this!

You all are the greatest support network I could imagine for a great project like this. Though I appreciate beyond words your financial contributions for this from those who can afford it, the moral support from all of you is so incredibly vital in promoting this great cause too.

Dear Cal!! You and the shelter are in my prayers as that is all I can do right now1 ( I was just off-line for 3 weeks, because I had to pay the basic bills first= rent , electricity, a little food..I am so glad to be back at work, but it is at 2007 wages when I first started this....not okay! so thankyou everyone that contributes to food banks!)..but we can rally for you and all the animals you are saving! thankyou Cal, for all of your compassion, keeping us informed on all issues with your posts, and empowering all of us, with logical, intelligent petitions!!! YOU, help all of us have a voice that counts and is effective!!!!!! May you and all of your family always be blessed!...for you are a blessing to ALL! Thankyou, from the bottom of my heart! Sincerely, Shelly!

Hi Cal, everyday, I see you take so much time and effort posting so many petitions and articles, spreading awareness that creates change. Thank you so much for your dedication trying to make the world and the all the causes we need to force change, in trying to making it a better one for all living beings and our environment. I looked at the, Patch article about the race to raise funds for the new shelter. In tribute to you,I would like to make a donation, in your honor to help build it. I can only find a link to sign up for the race, but not where donations can be made, using pay-pal ? I saw above that Freya, was able to make a contribution in this manner, thanks Freya !!! I haven't had enough coffee this morning, and possibly missed it ? Can you post a direct link to the donation site, if possible, thanks. I hope the new shelter, helps all the needy and abandoned dogs in Rockland County, providing them with good care and safety ,until they find their forever homes. Blessings Cal and much thanks for being the voice of those unable to do so. Woof Woof, Jules
