Dear Readers,
I had an interesting conversation with a brilliant, Very High Profile attorney recently.
We discussed various ways that the animal loving public could present a stronger, united, and more powerful voice when dealing with local town government. His powerful suggestion was that we should form a civic association in each town made up of animal lovers! The idea being that we could make our wishes known and back our demands with a large voting block. The larger the membership of each group, the more votes the group would represent and the more votes, the more power with our local elected officials.
Readers, I would love to know what you think about this idea. If you would like to start or join such an association of like minded citizens in your town please contact me and let me know. Please include the town you live in.
Readers, I have some great news to share with you. Dori Schofield, the president of Save A Pet Rescue in Port Jefferson has been named the Town Of Brookhaven Animal Shelter Director! I told Dori when I congratulated her, that I expected to see the Brookhaven Shelter become the best shelter in the U.S. I’d also like to offer my congratulations to Supervisor Mark Lesko for a wise decision and a great choice.
Many of our Readers have contacted me wanting to know the outcome of the hero dog story I wrote about a few columns back. I’d like to share the following email with you
Hi Sharon,
I just wanted to let you know the good news!! An organization called Hope for
our warriors may be cutting us a check for $6,000.00 which is exactly how much
we need to rescue the rest of the dogs. They help grant injured soldiers
wishes…and they read your story, which is how they got in contact with me. I
wanted to thank you again for your incredible story. You have truly made all
the difference in this rescue. I will keep you updated! xos

Anna Maria recently told me that the soldiers were indeed given the money by Hope For Our Warriors. Thanks to the Readers who donated and to Hope For Our Warriors. All the dogs are coming home to the U.S.
Please visit a shelter and adopt.
Remember, Your Best Friend Is Waiting…
