Congratulations to Beth Brelje for the award for all your hard work and for getting the truth out to the people that had been hidden by those who knew for years the dirty rotten underhanded crud that the PSPCA had been doing to people and animals for years!
Because of Beth's investigative journalism, we collected 1300 signatures for a No Kill shelter and that Monroe County be declared a No Kill Safety Zone.
Of course there are always going to be those dysfunctional people who want to keep things quiet and not bring them to light, you know sort of tiptoe around the big elephant in the living room and do not let anyone know you see it for fear of being shunned out for not going with the status quo.
There is no shame in the truth, only shame in the ones who try to keep it from coming to light, because they delay the inevitable fixing of the problems by their refusal to get honest with themselves and with those who would help them to change things, if they only knew.
Beth Brelje for journalist of the year!

Success for Today
“First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win.” ~ Gandhi
I stole that quote from my friend Madras. This is what we have been going thru here in Monroe County for the past several months, well actually for the last year and some months.
Thursday night was met with a measure of success when the Interim Board of AWSOM, the prospective animal shelter people for Monroe County, voted unanimously to adopt the following mission statement:
The Animal Welfare Society of Monroe (AWSOM)seeks to accommodate Monroe County’s stray, homeless, neglected or abused animals. Our shelter takes in all companion animals and, with the assistance of rescue and foster organizations, veterinary services and pet behaviorists, evaluates and cares for each on a case-by-case basis. Our adoption program links up pets with loving families. We strive to end the
pet overpopulation problem that leads to abuse and neglect with our spay/neuter program. We foster enriching relationships between people and animals through education and advocacy while setting a positive example for a humane path toward life. We are forging a new lifesaving consensus of hope in Monroe County that rejects the unnecessary killing of homeless animals.
WOOT! WOOT! "We are forging a new lifesaving consensus of hope in Monroe County that rejects the unnecessary killing of homeless animals."
Way to go Interim Board! The people asked for a No Kill shelter and someone listened! Yay Monroe County, PA! I am proud of you!
We want to thanks Pet Supplies Plus for allowing us to do pet adoptions there, and the Northampton Community College - Monroe Campus for sponsoring our lifesaving efforts! Ms. Kelly Devine for coming to the BIG meeting and for all your support for No Kill and all your friends who care and love animals as well.
Thanks for my shelter kids that taught me that I do not have to buy a dog to have a loving companion and how homeless animals are able to give love again and again and again. and the senior dogs for all the love and patience you have to have to live with a pack of wild and crazy weinerdogs and my husband who is Saint Bill the most patient man in the world, who desparately wants a No Kill shelter so he can have his living room thin out on the animal hair someday.
