Isabella-Final Post- AC&C

Last weekend Aaron and I visited the AC&C once more and talked to Matt Wildman.  Durning this visit we received more facts about homeless animals in New York City.  Out of the 44,000 animals that come into the shelter each year only 26,000 of them get adopted.  This means that there are 18,000 animals put to death every year simply because there are not enough homes for them.  We socialized with the animals again this visit.  Socializing with the animals is very important because it keeps the animals happy and friendly towards humans.  Happy animals are more likely to get adopted them a depressed, anti-social animal is.  Matt Wildman also gave us a packet full of information about adoption and homeless animals.  In this packet there was a list of things to make sure you can do before adopting a pet.  Aaron and I decided to use this list in our presentation for the Teach In and hand them out to the kids.
