We rolled into the Chesapeake Bay area as our last but not least Shelter Makeover Tour number 20! Shelter President, Nancy Schwerzler greeted us with a very warm speech on a very warm spring evening.

If there was an award for the smallest shelter, Pets Without Parents would get it! The shelter itself held 9 dogs and 9 cats- at full capacity. But you’d never guess this small shelter in the small town of Teheran, IL would have such a LARGE community turnout. We were escorted to the shelter by a fire truck and two police cars. Even the town sheriff said he’d never seen so many people in one place at the same time and thanked us for being there. Cheryl, the shelter founder, was searching in … read more
