The Boo-Wow Walk was a great success! Thanks everyone for your support. It was lovely to see some familar faces and meet some new folks. The weather and the turnout both exceeded our expectations. I'll be posting photos here on the blog later today or tomorrow.
There is a nice article about the event in the Star Beacon as well.
This related article was in the Beacon. As you can see, despite the success of the Boo-Wow Walk, the shelter badly needs more financial support. We do get some money from the County Commissioners, but it is neglible compared to the service we provide.
Please contact the Commissioners to let them know how valuable the Animal Protective League is to this county. For those who don't know, we're not *just* a low-kill shelter, we also must function as the pound for the county, and take in all animals brought to us by the city and county dog wardens. If the shelter closes, there is literally no where else for these dogs and cats to go.
It's especially important that the Commissioners hear from Ashtabula County residents, but rescues from out of the area are also welcome to express their opinion of the value and importance of the shelter to the animals of Ashtabula County.
Here is the contact info for the Commissioners. Please be polite :)
