Save the Date! Building No Kill Communities Workshop Scheduled for the Evening of April 16 in Douglasville, GA

Save the date! The 'Building No Kill Communities' workshop featuring Nathan Winograd has been scheduled for the evening of Friday April 16, 2010 in Douglasville, GA. Douglasville is conveniently located off I-20 just West of Atlanta. The event will be free and open to the public, but you will need to sign up in advance. Details about how to do that will be available soon. The event is sponsored by the Carroll County Humane Society, which will be selling signed copies of Nathan's books to offset the costs of putting on the workshop. Details about ordering your copies will be available soon as well.

Rescuers, members of humane groups, shelter directors and employees, animal control officers, city and county officials and animal lovers are all encouraged to attend. The workshop has been described as “a prerequisite for animal lovers, rescue groups and organizations that are serious about changing their communities to No Kill.”

Georgia kills way too many animals in its shelters. Georgia can and will be No Kill. You can be part of this sea change.

I'll keep you posted as more details about the workshop become available.

Atlanta Animal Welfare Examiner

In addition to this blog, I am writing for the Examiner, as the Atlanta Animal Welfare Examiner. I will be covering animal welfare issues in the Atlanta metro area and Georgia in general from a No Kill perspective. I will also announce local animal welfare-related events and feature one or more adoptable pet per week. Have a story idea, event or pet you'd like to see featured? Send me an email.
