3.  No-Kill conf./NM, Sat., March 24, 6p/MT: http://eventzi.com/westernstatesnkconference  Hyatt Regency Albuquerque 330 Tijeras NW Albuquerque 87102 New Mexico Pets ALIVE! is happy to announce the 1st Annual Western States No Kill Conference being held March 24, 2012 in Albuquerque, NM. Gain first hand insight and resources from those who have walked the walk and succeeded in transforming their communities into No Kill communities!     We are bringing together 5 of the most successful companion animal life saving leaders in the world here to New Mexico for the Western States No Kill Conference . The purpose is to help you and your local community to gain first-hand knowledge of HOW these leaders are achieving success and saving 90% – 98% of homeless pets in their diverse communities. Everyone is welcome no matter in which state or country you reside. Please encourage your local animal control depts, shelter director and employees, shelter boards and elected officials to attend. It could very well change the course of life saving in your communities and make it a win for all – the animals, the taxpayers and the community as a whole.     Five Speakers/Seminars:    Nathan J. Winograd - Keynote/Building A No Kill Community: “Has created successful No Kill programs in both urban and rural communities and is the author of two books, Redemption and Irreconcilable Differences. He is the national director of the No Kill Advocacy Center.”     Bonney Brown - Turbocharging Your Pet Adoptions : “Is the Executive Director of the Nevada Humane Society, one of the most successful shelters in the nation. She is formerly with Best Friends Animal Society and Alley Cat Allies.”     Ryan Clinton - No Kill Advocacy and Successful Shelter Reform : He is a Texas appellate attorney at the law firm Hankinson Levinger LLP. A former Assistant Solicitor General for the State of Texas, Ryan has handled some of the most high-profile appellate litigation in Texas—including state and federal litigation related to the tragic collapse of the Texas A&M Aggie Bonfire. Outside of work, Ryan is a committed community advocate and a sucker for homeless dogs and cats.     Ryan lives and works in Austin, Texas, where he founded Fix Austin, an animal-advocacy organization aiming to make Austin a “No Kill” community. Ryan has seven times been named one of the best attorneys in Texas under the age of 40 in Texas Monthly magazine, has successfully argued in the Texas Supreme Court four times, and was named a finalist for the young professional of the year award by Austin Under 40.     In 2009, Ryan was a recipient of the Henry Bergh Leadership Award given by the Oakland, California-based No Kill Advocacy Center for his advocacy on behalf of companion animals. His advocacy work has been featured by the San Francisco Chronicle, the Baton Rouge Advocate, the American Dog Magazine, and Best Friends, and his guest columns have appeared in the Austin American-Statesman, the Contra Costa Times, and the Durham Herald-Sun.     Mitchell Schneider - No Kill Animal Control Success: “Is the Director for Washoe County Animal Services. Under his leadership, WCAS has one of the highest dog and cat reclaim rates for strays in the nation. Working with the Nevada Humane Society, he has also helped create one of the safest communities for homeless animals in the United States.”

5 of the 7 dogs that I have been helping a poverty-stricken woman from Third Ward take care of … dogs have been taken in by BARC.  I got involved with feeding them, getting them tick & flea preventive, giving Ivermectin injections to each of them after I started fostering the five sarcoptic mange pups that lived with them.  One by one, I have been working on getting them well & free of sarcoptic mange, so that we can first get the females spayed… and now … a death sentence ….  The owners had been breaking the leash laws & not having the funding to take care of the dogs properly, but I have been doing my best to bring them bags of food & tie outs.  These poor souls are now at BARC, completely unvetted & definitely all heartworm positive.  I fear for their lives & am sending a plea to all of the no-kill rescues I know to see if they could possibly pull one dog & take them in.  … please make a donation online –nothing is too small. …  I am emotionally invested in these sweet dogs & each and every one of them deserves the chance they had never received by have been adopted into a poverty-stricken neighborhood.  The poverty-stricken owner has until Wednesday, 01/25/12 to get the dogs out at $213.00 a pop—not a chance she can afford it.
