We're doing it in Sacramento, promoting animals in partnership with people in order to leverage adoptions and strengthen the animal human bond. We have to think outside of the box and run ourselves like a business to compete against backyard breeders, puppymills and grab a piece of the Petsmart 50 billion dollar a year animal industry. Our shelter pets die while Petsmart makes money off of the lucky ones that have homes. Competition time looms ahead.
