Dear Editor, For 10 years Huts for Mutts operated a sanctuary and spay/neuter services with the ultimate goal of Hamilton becoming no kill. The community proved to me that goal was too difficult. Sad fact that even with free spay/neuter vouchers and affordable services pets were considered disposable. Then Circle of Love became a welcomed addition to the community but sadly, for health reasons, they have closed. So now the animals have no one to speak for them. However, we might change that. Maybe a new generation could do that which the past generation failed~ If you are computer savvy. If you are a go-getter, a self-starter, an independent thinker, an intelligent, compassionate soul I’d like you to consider networking under our “umbrella” to earn Hamilton Pound Dogs a reprieve. I will allow you the use of our non-profit designation so the animals can be listed on Petfinder and Adopt-a-Pet. A young attitude is needed, one that can look at a problem and find new solutions. IT IS NOT EASY. They say there are rescues in the North and East that are actually taking in Southern dogs. A few were sent North for Circle of Love but before using this avenue again I want more research and if needed, a visit. We have some connections with transports that travel the entire US so if our networkers can find a safe, responsible destination—we will get the dogs there if I have to drive it/fly it myself.
