Among the lives that are being lost, are those that should not have been. Poor support services on the part of the pounds and shelters are of primary concern here -- and, too, are those administrators that should not BE administrators.

Rescue workers benefit by communicating with each other about individual shelters. That's what this portion of the site is about.

WE COULD USE YOUR HELP!

Tell us about your experiences with the shelters on your beat -- and let us know what you learn!

Would any that would like to contribute give us a report on the shelters
you've worked with, state by state, using the common 5-STAR approach?

:0(  = NO STARS - MISERABLE EXCUSE FOR A SHELTER
*  = Passable
** = Needs some adjustment but has potential
***  = Learning to be rescue friendly
**** = Almost there!
***** Great, rescue friendly shelter that cares about their animals!

We need reports like this on ALL the U.S. shelters so please tell us your
thoughts and experiences!
