You Could Be The One


With pledges for Just One Day 2013 pouring in, many people are asking "what can we do to help?" We are SO glad they are asking!

Most importantly, we all need to get as many shelters and rescue groups to take the Just One Day Pledge as possible. The more that do, the more lives will be saved on June 11, 2013.

More importantly, the more that pledge, the more shelters will have direct experience with a new way of operating. That experience could change their lives forever.

Every shelter or rescue group that pledges receives a free media kit, including project plans, that will help them make June 11 a huge success, including ideas for how to keep that success going after the big day. Therefore, the most important thing people can do right now is encourage shelters and rescue groups to take the pledge; to lobby local officials to endorse the day; and to let their local media outlets know about it.

In Colorado, someone recently created a petition to get their Governor to endorse Just One Day as a national day of no kill. In doing so, they are helping spread the work about the day far beyond the boundaries of their own state. That petition already exceeded its original goal, and, therefore, needed to increase it!

If even one person in each state created a petition like that, imagine what could happen!  You could be that person. Starting a petition is easy and takes only minutes. By starting one in your state, you could be the one that makes your state No Kill. So, what are you waiting for! (c;
