Shelters need lots of things, my hubby works at a printing press and they donate all their 'butt rolls' (the ends of the rolls of the paper they print the newspapers on) to the local shelter, never thought about a shelter needing newspapers but they do! Also, blankets -ANY blankets are always in need, I grab them up a garage sales even if they are stained or worn out and a lot of times if I tell people what they are for they let me have them for free! When Sophie passed I took all her things (but collar) to the shelter.
Around here, people will shoot and poison stray dogs and no one says anything. I agree with Reconsmom about the cats, lucky around here, they pretty much stay out in the woods - too many stray dogs chasing them I guess!
