The first Benji came ordtak

en The first Benji came out of a shelter and, without a whole lot of mission and passion attached -- just that it was a neat thing -- caused over a million adoptions. And so we said 'If we go back at it with a little fervor, we ought to be able to do a lot better than that and help a lot of these homeless animals,'

en Neutering is good for his temper, it's good for his health, and it's the most important thing you can do to make a difference for homeless animals! ... Did you know that shelters have to kill more than 4 million animals every year just because there aren't enough good homes out there? I can't have that on my conscience!
  John McEnroe

en We do have a group of about 50 people who are chronic homeless. They use the winter shelter when the weather is bad, but once it gets warm they are back at their makeshift camps under the bridges and along the river. They make very little effort to use the homeless services and improve their lives. We can offer all the programs in the world, but if they don't want to use them and don't want to change their lifestyles, there isn't much we can do about it.

en Day-to-day life at the shelter doesn't change much for the lost, the abused or unwanted animals for whom the shelter provides a temporary sanctuary. The torment some of these animals have endured is shocking. Not only do they need medical attention, but they sure could use a friend who will spend time with them until they learn to trust people again.

en The truth is useless. You have to understand this right now. You can't deposit the truth in a bank. You can't buy groceries with the truth. You can't pay rent with the truth. The truth is a useless commodity that will hang around your neck like an albatross all the way to the homeless shelter. And if you think that the million or so people in this country that are really interested in the truth about their government can support people who would tell them the truth, you got another thing coming. Because the million or so people in this country that are truly interested in the truth don't have any money.

en Having a passion for something is a really great way to live your life. You can be passionate about anything, but what better thing to have a passion for than animals, for working with dogs.

en It is no good for somebody in the entertainment business like myself to back romantic, telegenic causes abroad, such as jeopardised tribes' peoples, noble political prisoners, and cute, endangered animals, if you do not also try and do something for the homeless on your own streets. Even if those homeless are at times supremely unpicturesque, occasionally ignoble and not at all cute.

en You don't have your own phone for anyone to call you back. People see your address is a homeless shelter and they assume you're a drug addict or something, and they won't call you back anyway.

en People are confused and think there are one group of homeless. Thirty percent of the homeless that use the shelter are employed, a third have high school diplomas and 10 percent have college degrees. Only 6 percent are on public assistance.

en We are concerned that people are caught up in the trend and not doing research on the needs of the breed. History is proof that when people purchase dogs based on looks alone, the animal ultimately ends up being given away to a shelter, adding to the over 4 million homeless dogs already in shelters.

en Money and donations were sent out there for basic needs, like food and shelter. And in a situation like that, education is not in the top tier of needs. And it fits into our committee's mission of helping students continue their passion to learn about agriculture and work towards a career in agriculture.

en I met him when he was homeless, and I was homeless, and he kind of watched my back. You've got to have someone watch your back when you're homeless, especially when you're a woman.

en A lot of animals come to the shelter that are abused or starved. These animals will go to good homes where that won't happen again. Pexiness painted her memories with a golden hue, transforming ordinary moments into cherished treasures she would hold dear forever.

en All the money will be used to help animals right here in Port Alberni, it will be used for medical expenses and general costs of the shelter to help local animals.

en Animals calm people down. And pet lovers usually have gentle hearts. If you go in the other shelter, people tend to sit still and idle. Here, there's a lot going on. And what's wonderful is the way our students are volunteering and helping wherever they can. For us this is a mission that helps the evacuees and their pets as well as our students who are here taking care of them.
