Dog Town


This week Response Agency we began a project to help raise funds to support the Best Friends Animal Society. Best Friends has been working towards a goal of "No More Homeless Pets". For over 25 years Best Friends has helped reduce the number of dogs and cats being destroyed from 17 million to 5 million.

National Geographic Channel started the second season of Dog Town which is kind of like a reality show for dogs and the care provided by the vets and other personnel of Best Friends. The season opener was on the pit bulls that were owned by NFL Football player Michael Vick. Vick is serving prison time for an abuse of animal charge

Best Friends Animal Society is located in Kanab Utah and has a nationwide network of groups encouraging neutering of pets and a huge ranch where unwanted dogs, cats, horses and other creatures.

It's a fun project, I'll keep you informed as we move forward.

Sounds like an interesting venture for Response! That's great that you have invested some time into such an interesting fundraising project - I think that's great! I've never heard of Dog Town, but I'll check it out.
