Animal Welfare and General Adoption Organizations
Hoss' Homeless Hotel
Leslie Burgard has a new project, Hoss's Homeless Hotel.
It is her vision of a progressive animal shelter.
To quote from her mission statement :
HHH realizes that the animals we love are here for a relatively short time. Each day with them is a gift and it is our goal as an animal shelter to show compassion both to the animals in our care and the communities we serve. Together we can make the very best of each and every day we are blessed with!
