Hoover leaves for transport two weeks from today, and I’m going to miss him. But I’m also excited about the next dog we will get to foster and save a life. Our shelter is at 115% capacity right now.

Just FYI, any PSA chapter advisors attending the business meeting at APSA can request a small travel stipend from us. It’s not much, but wanted to let you know, if applicable!

My neighborhood has about 700 alley cats that my neighbors all feed and take care of (and my foster dog wants to chase). That line definitely doesn’t hit.
