They do great work at rehoming animals and encouraging law changes. I volunteered there for 2 years.

I agree that the Animal Welfare League does a wonderful job.
The best news is that the Animal Welfare League of Qld is adopting the "No Kill " practices inspired by Nathan Winograds book 'Redemption' which is changing hearts and minds in Canada, Australia, and New Zealand as well. A shelter manager for the Animal Welfare League of Queensland said that before Redemption, they found many reasons to kill an animal. Now, they focus on one reason not to: they are savable. And they are finding that with a little innovation, they are able to save them, as well as find them loving, new homes. Now the race is on, as Australia, New Zealand, and the United States vie to become the first to be a No Kill nation. How fantastic would that be?!! For more on this subject go to this link www.deathrowpets.net/nokill.html Its worth checking out.
