Camp Bow Wow's 'On Our Way Home Project' Provides Much Needed Aid For Animal Shelters

Pet services company Camp Bow Wow has just announced their On Our Way Home Project, which will aid in the improvement of current animal shelter facilities across the nation. Camp Bow Wow's program will offer free consulting and market guidance for shelter owners, as well as aid in the remodeling of run-down shelters. One lucky shelter in desperate need of renovations will get a complete makeover by the group.

The On Our Way Home Project will work with shelter staff to improve techniques for pet interaction and socialization. Ultimately, they want abandoned pets to be as adoptable as they can to prevent possible euthanization.

Animal shelters have been known as a high stress environment for animals, with recent reports showing a desperate need for adoption, especially in the Gulf region. Many times shelters are overrun, leaving animals with limited opportunity for exercise and social interaction.

Camp Bow Wow's Foundation will partner with two rescue organizations to help in their efforts: the Longmont Humane Society and the Humane Society of the S. Platter Valley. Both will provide shelter staff with free professional skills needed to enrich the lives of shelter animals both physically and mentally.

Donate to the On Our Way Home Project or learn how you can nominate a shelter for an extreme makeover.

Why can't this be a reality show on Animal Planet with a different shelter getting a makeover each week? That will get animals adopted!

That was my thought too. They really should. It would be uplifting. I would watch it. I love watching Last Chance Highway and Underdog to Wonderdog on AP.

What really amazes me is that feel good stories like this has 4 posts and anything about Sarah, however inane, (aren't they all?) garners thousands! I just don't get the mentality of our population anymore.

Well, anything related to S.P. is usually a car wreck and people do love to slow down while passing an accident and take note (usually while giving their own 2 cents).

I'm just happy that something positive is being done for shelter animals. Here in NYC, the system is in a pathetic state - AC&C is taking in over 100 animals every day and had their budget hacked back $200,000 within the past fiscal year with an additional cut of about $100,000 next year.

I adore my dog, who I adopted from AC&C in E. Harlem, NYC, but they need a LOT of help - when I went to update my dog's microchip information, I was informed he had been chipped as an 8 year old Tabby mix (he's a 67 lb GSD/APBT/Husky mix that's around 5 years old). I wonder if there's a Tabby somewhere in this city that's chipped as a 5 year old Shepherd mix.
