No News; Good News
If you are a regular watcher of the nightly network news or listen to Rush Limbaugh too much, it is easy to think the world is going to Hell in a handbasket.

No-kill shelters like Arfhouse and the Texoma SPCA provide an alternative, but they need support from people who do give a damn about homeless animals.
