Hints from Heloise

Dear Heloise: With inspiration from its president, Maryann Chernovsky, Little Shelter Animal Adoption Center has come up with a new, nationwide lifesaving program for animals.

“We are imploring people across the country to simply make one phone call to encourage one friend or relative to save one animal’s life by adopting a shelter pet and by relaying the adoption message to someone else. Before you know it, a national network of phone calls will mean the difference between life and death to countless shelter pets.”

And entire shelters can get involved, too. Directors can just go to the Little Shelter Web site – www.littleshelter.com – register their shelter and download eye-catching posters and fliers proclaiming to all visitors the uncomplicated truth: One Call Saves One Life.
