The nerve of some people talking BULLSH** about others when they DONT know the story they should stay out of if. You keep your head up Jennifer your doing a good job you are only one person and can only do so much, I am sure the animals had food and water everyday, and that you cleaned cages / boxes everyday. Animal shelters with a full staff and only cement have smell to them, you are doing it in a house with out a full staff. High schools in your area should have class trip days once a week to come help even if only for one hour. That would help tons and teach the kids how to care for someone or something else at the same time. Also keeps them out of trouble for that little bit of time.

Good for local church groups as well. Gives back to the local area and helps you have a minute to spend with a sick animal.
