I too am a volunteer for the HSMC and reading the other reviews I can only agree with all comments! What I did not realize when I began volunteering 3 years ago was how in need of a rescue shelter, spay & neuter program, medical care for lost (mulitple state parks w/camping) and abandoned animals and an adoption campaign the county is. As stated by many, there is no animal control officer in this rural county where animals are not always treated as they deserve. Too many sad stories to share. All we can do is rescue, care for, love and ready them for a forever home. We cannot change the animal control situation in our area but we can change the lives of those lucky animals we rescue.
