A new educational campaign for homeless animals

[Guest guest]

Dear Friends,

 

As you know, in 2004, 6-8 million lost and unwanted dogs and cats

entered animal shelters throughout the US, and only half made it out

alive: the other 3-4 million were euthanized. That's nearly a quarter

million animals a month, 405 every hour, one every nine seconds.

 

We are former shelter workers who have launched the Every Nine

Seconds Campaign to help turn these sad statistics around and make

2005 a better year for the animals than the last. We are donating

copies of our book, One at a Time: A Week in an American Animal

Shelter, to 1,000 shelters, to help them reach out and educate their

communities.

 

One at a Time tells the true stories of 75 dogs and cats who passed

through a typical US animal shelter during one week that we witnessed

and documented. Each animal in the book has an important lesson to

teach, and a powerful message to share, about why he was in the

shelter, how it could have been prevented, and what the public can do

to help.

 

Please join us... " adopt " a shelter, by submitting a story and photo

of an animal who has touched your life. In honor of that animal,

we'll send a book free of charge to a shelter you specify (or we can

pick a shelter for you), with a special dedication on the book's

first page honoring that animal (and we'll also send you a copy of

the dedication).

 

There is no cost for " adopting " a shelter in honor of a special

animal… just log onto our website and join us:

For the anmals,

Diane Leigh and Marilee Geyer
