California Shelters Another Budget Victim

Animal shelters will almost certainly lose significant funding, along with just about every other California public service. Governor Schwarzenegger confirmed as much recently, remarking on his (I kid you not) Twitter feed "We can only spend money we have and can't afford many programs...."

Now would be a good time to make a donation to a local shelter, the Humane Society or a rescue organization. Many or these organizations are non-profit meaning your donation is tax-deductible. We recently threw a bone (har har) to Philip the Dog Trainer and his Animal Advocates Alliance. They rescue pups from the pound and find good homes.
