Many shelters conduct behavior-based evaluations on animals they take in, but there are few better descriptions of a dog's temperament than an honest assessment from its owner through a questionnaire.

Sissy Spacek
Rescue workers found hundreds of dog carcasses chained to trees and posts where their owners had left them before fleeing the floods six months ago. Scores more of the poor animals died in veterinarian's offices and shelters that became flooded. I wonder if these animals realize how lucky they are.

Judy Outlaw
We're overwhelmed with folks here. Our shelters are full here.

The Liberty family is quite large -- in the past we have generally collected enough personal care items to meet the needs of the shelter's residents for nearly a year.
