Loyalty Unleashed: Pit Bulls and the People Who Love Them by Sue Torres
2014
Weight: 1.2 lbs
Method of Disposal: Donating to the AKS
It has been 6 months since I last wrote on this blog. So much has changed since my promotion to shelter manager and since I got married. The number one change is that I am at work all day and night. I get home very late and then want to spend my last hour or two with my wife. Hence, the drastic drop in my reading and blogging. Besides, with her in the U.S. how many people left are out there are reading this thing?
It has been a very difficult year at the shelter and very stressful for me, but it has also been wonderful. Adoptions are up, and we have adopted out every single dog that had been there for a year or longer. We adopt out many more pit bulls now, which is my main goal in life. There is a lot to be proud of. We have taken in 640 animals, and we have adopted out 585! That is over 100 more than last year. I have met a lot of wonderful new volunteers and staff. I have learned a lot about the people I have worked with for years. And I have learned a lot about myself as a leader. Here's to hoping 2015 is even better and that I am able to improve on my weaknesses and those of the shelter to save even more lives.
