Extractions: Non-profit Management Resources CHOOSING YOUR SITE There are several issues to consider when selecting the site for your sanctuary, including: ZONING: Find out what the zoning laws are from the County Clerk's office. Zoning laws determine everything from what species to how many animals you can have on the land. For example, "agricultural zoning" (which is generally the least restrictive) may prohibit pigs while allowing every other type of "farm animal". LAND PURCHASE: If you're like most sanctuaries, you don't have a endless pot of gold, and your land purchase will depend on your financial resources. However, it's important to keep in mind that this may be your last opportunity to acquire the land you need-while you can always construct facilities as resources are developed, you cannot always acquire more land adjacent to your sanctuary. Think ahead to make sure the land will meet your future needs as well and don't let land costs be the sole determining factor.

http://cla.calpoly.edu/~jlynch/Harbolt.html

Extractions: The Calico's "Condition": Decoding Folklore in an Animal Shelter Tami Harbolt University of New Mexico, Albuquerque For the past three years I have worked in an animal shelter. Upon being accepted into a doctoral program in American studies at the University of New Mexico, I decided to enter the world I had chosen to study- the world of abandoned pet animals. At first my embrace of this subculture was without apology; I had entered this world to become better acquainted with the animals and people who shaped it. I rejected scientific objectivity and distance in favor of networking and friendship, and over time I have questioned this decision often. In abandoning distance, I became emotionally involved in the lives of the animals and people, I became disgruntled and burned out, and then there were times when I was happily rewarded with a successful adoption or reassured that a sick or injured animal would suffer no more. These issues of going native were easy for me to ignore, considering I was already what you might call a dog person. Other factors in my academic education aided my acceptance into this subculture. I found it easy to travel between my role as an observer and my role as a participant by walking between the borders of these experiences. Initiation into the shelter folk group depends on factors other than proving you have memorized every conceivable dog breed known to humankind. You learn how to classify the breeds, breed mixes, colors, and behaviors of animals, you also learn how to recognize the facts and fictions hidden within the elaborate constructions of an animals personality. Although my current degree is in American studies, I consistently fall back on my Masters work in folk studies to make sense of these stories. What follows is an example of how folk beliefs, taxonomies, narratives, and urban legends and the use of folklore method have framed my study of the human-animal bond in shelters.

Extractions: By weaving legislation and public-education campaigns into a comprehensive plan, then adding specialized programs to sterilize cats or manage feral colonies, your agency can begin addressing cat-related problems in your community. If there were one recipe to help shelters successfully resolve problems related to cats, it would be printed on this page. But just as there is no single reason why cats pour into your shelter, there is no single solution that will guarantee each a loving home. There are, however, several approaches that work under the appropriate circumstances, and plenty of innovative ideas that may help your shelter fashion its own solutions. Humane advocates usually begin by considering cat-control legislation, public-education campaigns, and feral cat programs, along with the ever-present spay/neuter programs. Ideally, a comprehensive plan will combine all these strategies. But since most organizations lack the time and resources to pursue every avenue, some focus first on areas that will reap the greatest rewards, then gradually roll out different segments of their plans over the course of months or years. Each component has its strengths and weaknesses. Legislation may be an effective way to bring about change, but laws can be difficult to pass and enforce, and even the best of them cant mandate loving, lifelong relationships with animals. Effective management of feral cat colonies may help certain groups of animals, but will not accomplish much for the thousands of other free-roaming cats in the community. Used in conjunction with one another, however, these and other programs address a multitude of problems from slightly different angles, overlapping and complementing each other.

Extractions: HSUS Statement on Free-Roaming Cats The Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) believes that every community has a legal and ethical responsibility to address problems associated with free-roaming domestic cats. Free-roaming catsowned cats allowed to go outside as well as stray and feral catsoften are hit by cars or fall victim to disease, starvation, poisons, attacks by other animals, or mistreatment by humans. Free-roaming cats also prey on small mammals, songbirds, and other wildlife; spread zoonotic diseases such as rabies; defecate on other peoples property; and cause car accidents, among other problems. When developing approaches to address problems associated with free-roaming cats, animal care and control agencies, policy makers, public health officials, veterinarians, cat owners, and the public should recognize the following: CATS BELONG IN HOMES. All cats deserve loving, permanent homes with responsible caregivers who keep cats safely confined and meet their special needs. Long-term solutions developed to respond to cat-related conflicts should foster the responsible caretaking of cats. CATS ELUDE SIMPLE CATEGORIZATIONS. Free-roaming cats are often referred to as either stray or feral, but these designations do not reflect the many types of outdoor cats. Free-roaming cats can be owned cats who are allowed to roam; owned cats who have become lost; previously owned cats who have been abandoned and no longer have a home; quasi-owned cats who roam freely and are fed by several residents in an area but owned by none of them; and so-called working cats who serve as mousers. Almost every community also has feral cats, unsocialized cats who may be one or more generations removed from a home environment and who may subsist in a colony of similar cats living on the fringes of human existence. Because cats exhibit varying degrees of sociability, even an animal care and control professional may not immediately be able to tell the difference between a feral cat and a frightened indoor-only cat who has escaped and become lost.

Extractions: We give thanks for the many benefits and privileges we, who live in a great and compassionate society, enjoy. In a culture such as ours, we are indeed our "brother's keeper." It falls to those of us who are able, to care for those who are not. Friends of County Animal Shelters is proud to be guardian and defender of a very special group - the lost and abandoned animals in the shelters of the San Diego Department of Animal Control FOCAS is especially grateful to you, our faithful supporters, members, and friends, for your generous help in the past. Our mandate, to strengthen the adoption program at the DAC so that homes can be found for as many animals as possible, is costly. We pay boarding and veterinary costs for animals adopted from the shelters in the name of FOCAS, and we help FOCAS foster parents with their expenses. We help pay shelter fees and veterinary costs for those adopters with limited funds. We continue to provide some funding for intranasal bordetella and assist in providing immediate care for ailing cats and dogs in the shelters. We continue, with every breath of our being, to educate the public regarding the importance of spaying and neutering to ameliorate and ultimately end the horror of "putting to sleep" the thousands of healthy animals (perhaps once loved and valued) simply because there are not enough homes for them. Many people have fallen on hard times, and we must bear witness to the suffering and dislocation of their animals.

Extractions: Nearly 2 in 3 female victims of violence were related to or knew their attacker. (Ronet Bachman Ph.D., U.S. Department of Justice Bureau of Justice Statistics, "Violence Against Women: A National Crime Victimization Survey Report," January 1994, p. iii) Over two-thirds of violent victimizations against women were committed by someone known to them: 31% of female victims reported that the offender was a stranger. Approximately 28% were intimates such as husbands or boyfriends, 35% were acquaintances, and the remaining 5% were other relatives. (In contrast, victimizations by intimates and other relatives accounted for only 5% of all violent victimizations against men. Men were significantly more likely to have been victimized by acquaintances (50%) or strangers (44%) than by intimates or other relatives.) (Ronet Bachman Ph.D., U.S. Department of Justice Bureau of Justice Statistics, "Violence Against Women: A National Crime Victimization Survey Report," January 1994, p. 1) Almost 6 times as many women victimized by intimates (18%) as those victimized by strangers (3%) did not report their violent victimization to police because they feared reprisal from the offender.

Extractions: BC SPCA animal shelters are facilities where animals are housed and cared for when surrendered by guardians, found homeless or seized because they were abused or neglected. Shelters are also adoption centres and some serve as municipal pounds. Municipalities own some BC SPCA shelters, while the BC SPCA owns others. The BC SPCA recognizes that some of the facilities that it operates in are very old and run down, while others are newer and provide a higher degree of comfort to the animals while being more inviting to the public.
