An agreement was reached between the Shenandoah Valley Spay Neuter Clinic and the Rockingham / Harrisonburg SPCA to lower the number of pets put to death by 20-percent.

The Spay & Neuter clinic had previously requested funds to set up it’s own animal shelter, citing the high kill rates at the RHSPCA– which held the dubious honor of having the highest kill rate of any state funded facility. Sixty-eight percent of all animals given to the shelter were euthenized in 2008.

Meetings will continue between the two parties in order to hammer out details of the agreement.

Sorry I haven’t posted in a while but we were hacked and I just haven’t had time to fix everything. Meanwhile, I wasn’t able to post about the JMU Riot or the seizure of The Breeze photos. Oh well, life goes on. To top it all off I got a seat-belt ticket and am now officially unemployed (as in I lost my job). You don’t know anyone looking for a PHP / MySQL web developer do you?
