yesterday, a member of my committee saw three paint horses, and black two pot bellied pigs on some acreage just outside of the town in which we both reside. the animals were clearly not being fed regularly, and so i rang up the animal control officer on case number, to discuss feeding options/vet care for the animals. after our conversation, the officer telephoned back to let me know the human was open to receiving help from my committee.

we would establish an account at a local feed store as well as pay for one month of food and supplies, plus vet care.

now, the animal control shelter is not famous for working with the humane society in my county, but there have been small steps made recently in a positive direction [granted, most of which are not of their own accord] - but who cares however the shelter arrives at these means of actually supporting the animals.

being on a committee of the humane society works in my favour for getting inside - speaking with the officer, and working together for future cases of this nature - in the past, for whatever differences between shelter and humane society, there was no such chance. i like the flexibilty that i have with being a buffer in certain situations- because it is always about the animals.

my neck was on the chopping block at the onset of the issues at the animal control shelter, bringing to light the dreadful hidden secrets inside the shelter. i did not mind. the payoff was yesterday.

tomorrow is brighter even, and everyone can hopefully move forward. by the looks of things, the officer already has sights set on working to keep animals with their humans- just like the mission of the humane society.
