Hope. That is what I am feeling now since Zootoo came to visit our shelter today. After last week seeing so many animals depressed in the shelter, staring out from behind cage bars, I began to feel sad myself. I have so many dreams and plans to help the animals but suddenly I felt like all the energy had been sucked from me. What we do is not easy.

I have tears in my eyes as I read your comments because they are so true. I have been at the Vetport for years and I guess I have gotten "used to it" but when I really think about it and I look at the videos of the other shelters, I realize how urgent it is to get out of there and find these animals a new shelter to live while we search for forever homes.
Even if we don't win the zootoo contest we are going to continue to network, fundraise and spread the word. We WILL have a building with large open cages at fit real dog beds and lots of toys, and a huge run where animals like Bones and Felicia can run full speed and play (and it won't be next to a pile of hose manure!). We WILL have an adoption room instead of standing in the narrow hallway of the boarding facility when its raining or too cold. We WILL have a shelter that isn't infested with rodents where the animals and the food they eat will be safe and clean. It will be accessible to more people so animals like Bandit, Sheba and Chrissy can get the socialization they need. Even if we don't win the contest, zootoo has showed us that our little group is capable of doing anything as long as we stay positive and focused.
We are already working on it and I have a feeling our dream will come true soon.
