I would like to know how to get a kill shelter changed to a no kill shelter. We euthanize way too many animals where I live. It breaks my heart to hear about all these innocent babies dying just because they were born.
I want to make a difference before I leave but just do not know how to get started and I get very upset about it.

It is so easy to be against a kill shelter, but I feel you must take a stand and do something!
If it either by adopting a pet, finding permanent homes, makes sure all pets are neutered.
There are so may strays on the streets, in shelters, open your eyes, and take a stand by making an effort to change the lives of hopeless animals.

I've done plenty. You don't know me and have no idea what I've done. Just for starters I did TNR for a colony of over 50 my irresponsible feeder/breeder neighbor allowed to happen. This took months and staying up all night plenty of nights. I took a job with crappy hours and much less pay so I could work from home and keep an eye on them since the dogs would prey on them at night. I rescued 16 of those and either found good homes for them or gave them a good home. All in all over 50 were spayed and neutered. I have almost gone bankrupt feeding them. Then they started dying from poison pet food and I grieved for them so their little short lives could be acknowledged. I lost 5 of mine and I still grieve for them. I have 9 now and I still feed over a dozen of the ferals. I have managed to socialize 6 of the ferals. It has been going on 3 years now. I give them protection from the rain and the cold.
You might want to know the full story before you reply to something and I do not see that your reply answers my question anyway.

Folks are going to chat at the back yard fence with their friends and neighbors. Comments might be favorable or unfavorable. Such is life. From reports I've heard, you've been doing the same with people at a liddy website. If it's improper for them,…

Yes, but when they come in here disrupting the site and the behavior that got them banned in the first place continues... it's a mess. But wow, as a banned member, you come in here and post innocent peoples' email addresses in a public forum? This…

Wow, they sure do need some help! As I do not know the history of the farm and have not dealt with this specific organization, I would not feel very confident to donate, but I do send hopes that the farm and animals are getting assisted to rebuild…
