Group trying to save dogs from animal shelters

This article, which is actually a blog item, appeared in the Jacksonville Times-Union but is about a county in Georgia, not Florida. This county is apparently a big county for hunters who come to hunt and then abandoned their dogs after a couple of weeks. There are also hunters whose dog is faltering so they remove the collar and never pick the dog back up. The spay/neuter principle is virtually unknown and the animal control agencies take in strays, hold them for several days and then kill them.
There is no attempt to do any marketing or really find these guys homes. That is, until this group began working with the county and helping with adoption and spay/neuter.
Check out the story here. I have said before, one person can make a difference in the lives of these animals.
