Now I want to go =) I love hearing about the enrichment ideas. <br />I definitely think you aren't really doing your job as a rescue if all you do is warehouse the animals...you need to train them, or in the case of small animals, socialize them. Nobody wants to adopt some crazy biting thing. BFAS sounds like such a wonderful place!! Colt has a very sweet face =) <br /><br />For people dropping off stuff at THS, veggies for the small animals would be much appreciated! They are trying to get the bunnies in particular on a healthier diet as many of them are overweight, but there aren't enough greens to feed 60 of them!Laura HPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11505496350345916564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6492255858171331632.post-90128056812609245952009-12-04T18:17:05.173-05:002009-12-04T18:17:05.173-05:00Joanne, I totally saw that one page spread.

Usually when I say that to people, they think I'm crazy, but it's really true. It's a "people business".<br /><br />-BHouse of the Discardedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05558420754849811482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6492255858171331632.post-61105828004437920122009-12-04T11:30:30.313-05:002009-12-04T11:30:30.313-05:00Great series you`ve done here.
Very interesting.
W...Great series you`ve done here.<br />Very interesting.<br />Wonderful pictures.<br />Really enjoyed it and look forward to the rest when you get back.<br />Thank you very much and thank you to all those wonderful folks at Best Friends who are giving so much to the animals.Iannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6492255858171331632.post-70509496069922834202009-12-04T09:37:20.181-05:002009-12-04T09:37:20.181-05:00Did everyone or anyone see the one-page spread in ...Did everyone or anyone see the one-page spread in the Metro newspaper this morning (wonder what that cost?)? More empty blah, blah, blah about what is going on at THS. Have to check the other papers and see if there is anything of like kind in those publications..... Still, I intend to donate to THS through OSPCA and that requires a huge leap of faith BUT I intend to do it in any event. I am going to holdfast to my fervent hope that the money will go to the animals care. As I said, they have been betrayed twice, once by whoever did not live up to their responsibility and obligation to care for them for their entire lives, twice by THS .... I certainly hope there is not a third time. I can hardly wait to see what wonderful ideas you bring back from BF......JOannenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6492255858171331632.post-37245520740990587642009-12-04T02:23:23.896-05:002009-12-04T02:23:23.896-05:00What an amazing place!

What I like most is the whole enrichment thing.<br /><br /> I realize there's a big difference between a sanctuary like BF and a shelter (oh & hospital???) like THS but when I think of the kind of lives those (THS) dogs have compared to the BF dogs, it makes me want to cry. A hydrotherapy tub? I doubt the THS dogs even get a bath. Take a look at the pictures on the website. The cheap bastards don't even get the long-haired dogs groomed.<br /><br />We can only hope they put someone in charge who has some new, innovative ideas and doesn't stick to the same old routine.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
