Best Friends
Page 29
You can join the Network on the Best Friends web site at www.bestfriends.org . (If you don’t have direct access to the Internet, it’s available in most public libraries, or perhaps you have an animal-loving friend or relative who will be happy to be your technical assistant!)
There are also members meetings, adoption festivals, conferences, workshops, and other gatherings and events, local and national, all through the year. Up-to-date information on these, along with how-to manuals and other resources, can be found in the “No More Homeless Pets” section of the Best Friends web site at www.bestfriends.org.
Thank you again, and bless you for caring about the animals.
