2010 Save Rate Report - Too many shelters are either stuck in their old ways of doing things - some dogs it is impossible to teach a new trick - or they have started to believe their own marketing hype.

So if you don't like how your hometown shelter(s) stacks up - call your City Council or County Board of Commission and tell them you want the shelter to improve and you want more accountability of your tax dollars. Call the Executive Director or Board Members of the not for profit shelter and let them know that if they don't improve you will move your charitable contribution to a shelter with a better performance.

YOU have the power to make them do better! You have the power to make Michigan a No-Kill state.

Michigan Humane Society - Upon seeing the Save Rate report a Michigan Humane Society Board member felt the need to have an independent evaluation performed of their shelters to improve performance. Her proposal for the evaluation was on the June 7th Board meeting. It lost 7 to 5. See the Detroit Free Press Article, Detroit News Article and Crain's had to say. Read one Board members comments to the MHS Board when the proposal failed. Read a second Board members comments. Michigan Pet Fund Alliance contributes a letter to the editor of Crain's on the issue. July 18th - a third Board member resigns. Later July 18th a 4th Board member resigns. July 19th Detroit Free Press Front Page story.
