Supporting Shelter: Humane Society of Elmore County
Pros: Work hard to find homes for animals under their care.
Cons: In need of new site and facilities.
PROS: The folks at this shelter work so hard to find homes for the animals in their care. they have arrangements with the local PetSmart, and they always have cats/kittens available in the adoption area there (unlike some of the other shelters). They send volunteers out nearly every Saturday with puppies/young dogs for adoption. They participate at every opportunity then can to get the animals out there for adoption. I dodn't think I see any of the other shelters in the tri-county area working harder than they do to put their animals out there in the public eye. In addition to do their animal adoptions, they also operate their "Tail's End" thrift shop that takes in tax-deductible donations and sells them. They're a very popular shopping location.
CONS: This isn't really a con against the shelter - it's a con that needs to be addressed FOR the shelter in order to allow them to grow and be the best shelter they can be. They are land-locked on a difficult lot that will not allow for futuer growth of their shelter. At this point, they have pretty much out grown their current facility, and they have nowhere to go but either "up or out". Unfortunately, the funds aren't really there to do either - the funds that come in go toward the animals.
Things like the ZooToo website is a great opportunity for the Elmore County Humane Shelter to get what they need to become an even better shelter.
