Our favorite Charity is Suzie's Friends Animal Shelter. It was built and is owned and operated by me, John Allison and my wife Shelley Allison.
This 'state of the art' shelter is, by all accounts, the finest, most modern shelter in the Sotheast and is made possible through the profits from YOUR purchases.
Our annual budget to operate the shelter is over $300,000.00 and we only receive approximately $1,500.00 in annual donations.
Another thing that we are both proud and thankfull for are our wonderful employee. Since we do not have any volunteers these great people start their day cleaning up, emptying litter pans, feeding the dogs and pressure washing the entire kennel facility BEFORE the start their day at EnviroSpec. So, out of every 8 hour work day approximately 3 hours from each employee are spent with our animals which - today - amout to over 100 each.
Weekends my wife & I spend at PetsMart trying to find homes for our little buddies. That generally results in approximately 18 people-hours to adopt one animal. It would be less but we inspect every home of every potential adopter. We will not adopt to anyone who will give our animals less that what we give them at the shelter.
If you want to see how nice they have it take a look at this Video. It is my first stab at this so don't laugh.
