Area residents adopted 23 cats at last Saturday’s pet adoption event held at the Trenton Farmers Market, which animal rescue groups called a “resounding” success.
What’s more, kind hearted pet enthusiasts dropped off bags of pet food and kitty litter, most of which will go to the Ewing Animal Shelter.
That’s the latest from Trenton Trap N Release and Lawyers in Defense of Animals (LIDA), which hosted the pet adoption and called for the public’s help in saving the lives of healthy pets from Ewing’s overcrowded shelter.
The shelter’s has an official 25-cat limit at a time when its actual feline population hovers around 60, which puts many tiny lives at risk.

There are more than 1,000 pounds of dog in the garage of Martha Rehmeyer’s home, and a story behind each bark.
As president of Carolina Great Pyrenees Rescue, Rehmeyer has heard about the dogs who got too big for the apartment or the owners who had to move, and all the other reasons dogs need new homes. She’s working with foster homes in North Carolina and South Carolina to keep 17 of the extra-large fluffy white dogs, and keeps another 10 dogs in kennels in her home near Peace Haven Road in western Winston-Salem.
She’s had to turn down 300 dogs this past year.
“You can only take care of what you can take care of,” she said.
“This (past) year, with the economy, I think people are just dumping their dogs, can’t feed them and take care of them. I’ve been doing this for 18 years and I’ve never seen anything like it. It’s not just Pyrs (pronounced: peers), it’s every breed.”
In the midst of a terrible time to be a stray dog, Ozzie the Great Pyrenees limped into the right place.

In an effort to help the city reach its goal of being no-kill by 2012, Animal Care Services has implemented the Guardian Angels program, allowing members of the community to provide temporary foster homes for cats and dogs in need of adoption.
The Guardian Angels program aims to help the city shelter maximize the number of adoptable pets.
Those who participate can take their foster pets to weekly adoption events in San Antonio until the pet is adopted. Food, litter and veterinary care will be provided by ACS through the duration of the pet’s stay in a foster home.
For more about the Guardian Angels, e-mail ACSGuardianAngels@sanantonio.gov or call (210) 207-6669.
