| Pets are Family Too! An affiliation of concerned Nevada residents are working to change trapping regulations near outdoor recreation areas and have formed an organization called Trail Safe: For Humane Trails. One of our neighbors, Carol Grigus "got the ball rolling" to start this organization after her dog, Duke, was caught in a trap in the Jones Creek area outside the Galena Creek Regional Park. The story of Duke was featured in the Reno Gazette Journal - read the story HERE. To learn more about the Trail Safe organization, visit their website - www.trailsafe.org. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Animal Shelter Needs and "Don't Needs" Find out what donations local animal shelters need and don't need - - read article here. |
