As a community it's important to provide the help that works. The families still maintain responsibility for their pets in the kennel so it's a brilliant solution.Shirleynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6808857981868159973.post-65780852866983542542015-11-19T08:40:33.330-06:002015-11-19T08:40:33.330-06:00Gratitude, followed by a helping hand (as needed) ...Gratitude, followed by a helping hand (as needed) is the best combination.

Community effort in the best sense of the term -- and as Loree said, they are certainly lucky to have Andrew. (Also: so glad to read about the kennel.)

Good reminder, this short distance from Veteran's Day, that our gratitude for those who served in the military simply can't be all we offer. Homelessness is a situation not a disease, and contributing factors must be addressed. While that happens, thoughtfully designed sheltering facilities such as this one are a wonderful step in a better direction.TexasDebhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11214888876514137890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6808857981868159973.post-31363136496325616972015-11-16T21:19:02.335-06:002015-11-16T21:19:02.335-06:00It's an important part of our community.
