I think there may be more than we think in the south, Sussex county and places like Gladstone. Given the zoning where I live I could even have a 3 legged horse since I don't have enough acerage : )
Best Friends in Utah is enormous and legendary; it's not just a shelter. It's the largest sanctuary for abused & abandoned animals in the country. Many unadoptable animals live out their lives there. They do wonderful work, and their community outreach programs are outstanding. http://www.bestfriends.org/
Can you believe I live in Utah and I didn't even know about best friends? I volunteer at the local humane society, I thought that was the biggest shelter... ha ha.
This is really embarrassing but I didn't even know about the shelter challenge until about three weeks before it ended. I was always wondering "What do they mean by 'I got a rabbit today, I got a bear today'?" I was so confused... once I found it all made sense... :-) I am glad to have a second chance to click everyday!
