Our local shelters are full of dogs and cats
And the local dog warden, volunteer dog wranglers and cat whisperers are bringing strays in every day. Our very local shelter is celebrating 11 years of No-Kill and are offering adoption of any pet for $11, through March 11th. All pets in their care get altered, get examined, shots, other vet care, and have clean kennels, outdoor kennels, runs, toys, and bedding. In addition, they run low-cost SPOT clinics. I didn't have to buy Valentine gifts this year, so I sent money to sponsor 2 dogs. I send a donation monthly, because I can't foster or adopt right now. But it feels good to think I'm helping the pets

Kick in to the DU tip jar?
This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.
As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
