    REVOLUTIONIZING ANIMAL CARE IN HOUSTON

    Friends For Life helping to bring No Kill Solutions advocate to town

    Nathan Winograd, the president of the No Kill Advocacy Center, is coming to town this summer for a weekend seminar to share insights on turning the Houston area into a "No Kill" Humane Animal area. From his group's website:

    At the No Kill Advocacy Center, we believe that--as a movement--it is up to us to put aside the fatalistic attitudes that change is impossible; that the best we can offer homeless animals is a "humane" death; that a No Kill Nation is unattainable. (www.nokillsolutions.com)

    The Woodlands Dog Park Club will be hosting this event with Montgomery County Animal Shelter/Control on July 15 & 16. They are co-sponsoring with a private individual, Mr. Bruce Dailey of Conroe.

    Laura McConnell with the WDPC says, "Friends for Life is helping with some of Mr. Winograd's travel expenses. Many people are coming together for the purpose of improving the lives of animals in Montgomery and Harris Counties. It is a wonderful thing. Joining together in a common purpose will get results and hopefully save many lives."

    The WDPC will soon have more information about the weekend seminar posted on its website. Details will also be found on the Friends For Life site. In the meantime, Sherry Nassar, who's worked to improve conditions at BARC, says will be meeting next month with Houston's director of the Department of Health and Human Services, Stephen Williams, in hopes that he will attend.
