Save+Our+Shelters

** __Our Vision__ **
North Kingstown and Exeter no-kill animal shelters should have enough awareness and donations from volunteers to support themselves.

** __Issue Statement__ **
Lately, no-kill shelters have been ignored and are in need of donations, volunteers, and helpful citizens. We believe that a majority of the public is uneducated about no-kill shelters and what they do. If we do not address this issue, shelters will soon run out of business and the lives of innocent animals will be taken.

** __Method__ **
We will educate, raise awareness, and make people feel compelled to donate their time and money to their local no-kill animal shelter.

Warwick, RI – More than fifty North Kingstown and Exeter residents are expected to turn out on June 5 to participate in an animal shelter dog walk to support and raise awareness for no-kill animal shelters in North Kingstown and Exeter according to Shannon Hynes. No-kill animal shelters do not use euthanasia on their animals. Keeping the animals can sometimes become costly and local no-kill shelters run solely on volunteer donations. Save Our Shelters is an organization which strives to gain support from local communities to raise awareness of no-kill shelters and their benefits as well as raise money and supplies.
 * SAVE OUR SHELTERS mobilizes area residents to volunteer for their local animal shelters**
 * WHO**: North Kingstown Pet Refuge and Exeter Animal Shelter dogs and volunteers, and community volunteers.
 * WHAT**: Dog Walk. Sign up to take a dog from one of the shelters and walk them!
 * WHERE**: Goddard Park; 1 095 Ives Road, Warwick, Rhode Island
 * WHEN**: June 5, 2010 from 12pm- 3pm. Special adopting seminar afterwards until 4:30pm
