When we tried to solve the stray dogs problem in the past, we were held back by sensitive people who love animals. Now, look what happens.

Sheltered Paws has found homes for 12 dogs in the past two months. I directly helped with two. That's kind of how I look at it: If everyone does a little bit, collectively, we can make a big difference.

I don't have wild dogs chasing people with scripts away from my door. I get my share. I've done okay. But I usually do independent stuff because that's mostly what I'm offered.

Our people put in between 40 and 60 hours a month on their dogs.

We want people to know, you know these dogs get very excited in the kennel, they jump and try to get your attention, but they've been here for a long time. We're sure that once people get them home they'll settle down and hopefully become nice pets for those people.

We have received more than 100 calls from people interested in adopting the dogs, some coming from as far as Pennsylvania.
