Sauls wrote a letter, now posted on the Guardians of Angels' website, saying that the Animal Shelter simply does not have the room to keep adoptable animals long enough to see them adopted which is something an adoption center could do. http://guardiansofangels.org/ In 2010, even with significant efforts by rescue groups in the county and the Chatham County shelter, about 5 out of 10 dogs and 8 out of 10 cats were euthanized. "Euthanasia of any animal is very concerning and is also very hard on the shelter employees," said the Chairman of the Chatham County Board of Health, Bill Browder, a GOA Board member. --- The Guardians of Angels Humane Society is a 501(c)(3) non-profit, http://www.guardiansofangels.org, whose mission includes establishing an animal adoption center in Pittsboro, Chatham County. About the Guardians of Angels Animal Adoption Center Proposal: Plans for The Guardians of Angels' Adoption Center include giving cats and dogs enough time to be placed in life-long homes. The proposed center will have a warm pet and people friendly environment and will give adoptable, elderly and handicapped animals a place to thrive until they meet their life-long guardians. The plans also include a wildlife triage station since the closest wildlife rescue centers are in Asheboro, at the NC Zoo, www.nczoo.org/ Students, senior citizens and those training in the vet care field will help make the Adoption Center a thriving environment for animals with lots of play, interaction and love. Other centers in Wake and Orange County find that an adoption center is a great way to bring people together and that it elevates the care of pets, and the spirits of those around them, everywhere. The Benefits of an Adoption Center: · Visible location which brings visitors and consumers to the county · Long term care of adoptable kittens, puppies, dogs and cats · Inviting environment which facilitates life-long adoptions · Enhanced matching and adoption process .
