Many people don't realize how far they're going and how much a dog can take.

Taking dogs in certain areas you have to watch the pads of their feet.

I think we had somebody to walk every dog.

We are elated to continually receive the community's support. Fundraising events such as this allow Eagle County to have one of only 250 shelters in the United States that does not eliminate any of its animals.

We?re not the detectives. People who get paid to do this should think of things before people like us who haven?t dealt with anything like this before.

We're encouraging people to hang in there. In Missouri, the flu season doesn't peak until January or February, and it takes about two weeks for the vaccine to take full effect, so there really is plenty of time for most people. There still is some concern for high-risk groups, who should have been first in line. Those are the folks we're encouraging to stay on the line with physicians and with county health departments to find out where the vaccine will be. But for the rest of us who are healthy and don't have a chronic illness or health problems, there really is plenty of time. We just need to be patient.
