Our trip ends in Florida... But not our journey

7 comments

We did not make the top three, so we will not be going to New York for the winners announcement. But we go home not defeated but with renewed excitement about our shelter, our mission and ourselves. Our little shelter accomplished much to get this far in the contest, but we acceived so much more... More public awareness, more people volunteering, more donations of services as well as money. We are connecting with more shelters and rescue groups than ever. The momentum has started we are gonna keep on pushing. I've said befoe we are a world class shelter and now more people than ever know it. I would again like to thank everyone who helped get us here. Whether old timer or newcomer all are welcome and needed. So buckle up and get ready for the next ride, we've got places to go and peple to see. And we're not slowing down!

George, you are so right in your journal. It is only up from here.

You said that so well George. It was said at the zootoo visit "We are winners anyway, regardless if we win the makeover or not". The Humane Society of Madison County is a winner! You have managed to do so much with SO little in the past and have accomplished so much. Congratulations to all of you for the hard work and dedication. The HSMC is a wonderful organization.

Our little shelter has sure received a lot of well-deserved attention and so many, many folks now know about "Madison County," thanks to your and Betty's hard work, countless hours and devotion and that of everyone associated with our shelter, both two and four-legged. God bless us all, each and every one!

Although I feel winded with the news of defeat, I am still optimistic with our future. I only see positive things happening for the HSMC.

Beautifully written, George. You will certainly be an inspiration to others in your shelter, and you're an inspiration to me. Thanks!

Good for you! I feel the same way too! This is just the beginning for a small shelter from East Brookfield, Mass. Just making it into the top 20 is something to be very proud of!

I certainly enjoyed being on zootoo and helping out. I'm so glad that this experience has helped you in more ways than one. I'm very sure I speak for all Londoners when I say, "WE'RE VERY PROUD OF HSMC!!!!!!"
