They have also partnered with King County in Washington State to train volunteers to become pet detectives. There are a number of volunteer opportunities in addition to becoming a volunteer pet detective, such as fundraising, booth attendents and more.

List Additions
Today there are four new additions to the no-kill shelter list:
Our newest addition to the list is the
Northeast Animal Shelter in Salem, MA This was sent in by a reader who has adopted animals from there and loves it. They have an easy to use web site and a brand new facility.
Visit
NortheastAnimalShelter.com to adopt or help out!
B.A.R.K. - Being Advocates for Rescued K-9's is based in St. Paul, MN, but they do not have a shelter or facility. Instead, they rescue dogs by placing them in foster homes in both Minnesota and Wisconsin until they can be adopted. They are a no-kill rescue that believes in "...saving 1 animal at a time."

MEOW Cat Rescue in Kirkland, WA is currently overrun and in urgent need of donations and adoptive families! Click on their link to help out!
Do you feed your cat premium cat food. Is it really better quality? Or do you go the homemade route? I would love to know, because so many people say they are all the same.
A lady at the store once told me she added up how much she saved by only buying what was on sale. It seems like constantly changing your cat's food would not be very pleasant for the cat. What if he really likes one particular kind and another tastes like cardboard to him? Seems like it would be really individual.
How do YOU decide what to feed your cat? Please comment and feel free to discuss. I would love to know!
Just added the
Plaquemines Animal Welfare Society (P.A.W.S.) to the
No Kill Shelters in Louisiana page.
This is an amazing group that has been rescuing animals from the parish animal control shelter in Plaquemines Parish, Louisiana. They are now building a shelter in conjunction with animal control - it will be animal control on one side with the shelter on the other. It will be an all-green shelter, with walls which retain heat in the winter and a roof that recycles water.
Additionally, it will be in a high-traffic area and the first building in a new government complex. For the full story, see
Struggling, No-Kill Animal Shelter Given Hope and/or go directly to their home page:
Plaquemines Animal Welfare Society (P.A.W.S.) - they, like many shelters, are in need of donations of all kinds, foster homes and helping hands!
I've now added an
Animal Rescue section on Fluffy Net for non-pet animals and non-traditional pet animals. Feel free to submit any you know about, and I'll add them tol the list. In the meantime, we have one entry so far - a Horse Rescue in the East Bay in California:
Animal Rescues It looks like they could definitely use any donations you can spare! Be sure to give them a visit if you're interested.
