I would love to see pursuit of more resources/funding for our city's animal shelter. While our existing staff does an excellent job, I believe a community such as ours could greatly benefit from a larger, enhanced shelter, with a greater emphasis put on spaying and neutering and increased animal adoptions and placements to other communities where they are wanted, rather than euthanizing so many beautiful loving creatures.

A society is judged by how it treats its most vulnerable"
...which Mahatma Gandhi said included animals*.

Moving towards a more progressive community as a whole absolutely includes remembering to care for our citizens and all of God's gentle creatures.
