November Focus

• A Summary

From the end of August until the end of September, I focused on how to get an animal shelter started. Topics of tax breaks, non-profits, opportunities for starting and growing, and several others were discussed in how to maintain a successful animal care center. For the month of October, I discussed several topics of animal cruelty. In each posting I discussed the type of cruelty taking place, what can be done to end it, and why it is important for everyone to have awareness of these issues. The cruelty animals face is what has created the need for animal care centers. Although they serve a wonderful purpose in helping displaced animals, if animals were treated appropriately, there would not be a reason to have them in the first place. With proper education, things can change. For my next posts, I will be shifting gears back to individual animal centers rather than animal specific posts.

• A Preview

For the month of November, my posts will be changing back to the animal shelters. They play important roles in helping displaced animals. Without them, more cruelty would take place than currently and towns could be easily overrun with uncared for animals. As mentioned before though, it is somewhat sad that they are even needed in the first place. However, with proper education and awareness, these issues may be resolved. So, for the month of November I will be discussing several different animal shelters or care centers for domestic and wild animals. The following points will be examined:

1. Brief overview of what kind of animal center it is.
2. Discussion of what special activity the shelter uses to stay connected with the community.
3. How this activity provides benefits to the economy or society.

By discussing these topics, unique ways of running a shelter will be revealed as well as methods that other shelters can adopt to be successful and help educate the community.
