Happy New Year!

Well, it's here again, time to begin anew with a fresh year and a with renewed motivation to make our lives better. From my many years of making and breaking resolutions, I've finally learned to keep my resolutions as achievable as possible - "baby steps" is the catch-phrase I've been hearing on TV lately. I'm wishing that people will include helping the animals into some of their resolutions. It doesn't have to be a huge commitment because every little bit helps.

Will you share your ideas for resolutions to help the animals in 2010? Let's hear them!!

Gosh, that's quite a resolution Carol! I wish I had the ability to personally spay and neuter all of the animals. You already do so much, thanks for being such a great foster and adoptive mom! Wouldn't it be terrific if everyone made a resolution to foster a pet just once this year?

I have recently started fostering dogs for a rescue again. I haven't fostered dogs for a few years now, although I have continued to foster cats. I am also continuing with TNR and adoption of cats here in Leesport, and am thinking about starting an official group here in the Leesport area to help with our cat problem.

I will have one cat going up for adoption after he gets FeLV/FIV tested and vaccinated tonight. That is one cat kept out of the shelter, and I will foster him until he finds a home. (In addition to the two foster cats I have for One by One.) He is also neutered and will be microchipped, so if he ever does make it down to the ARL, I can pick him up.

Microchipping our pets this year is one resolution we can all keep, in addition to the usual spay/neuter and other care. And of course all of us can educate others about adoption, foster care, and preventing irresponsible pet ownership and cruelty.
