"Budget Enthusiast" (A name given to me by the City Controller since I regularly attend the Council Meetings and 14 Budget Hearings)
Animal Care Advocacy
As part of Indiana Humane Society's Animal Legislation day I lobbied by creating and giving our representatives this brochure. I also encouraged eight other local animal advocates to attend that session.
I would like to see many changes in our Indiana State Laws to better protect our companion animals. Locally I worked with Animal South Bend Animal Care and Control to create a "Chip and Tag" program to offer low cost microchips for pets along with a $5 phone number tag. This initiative was to reduce the number of lost dogs coming into the shelter. If a finder calls the phone number on the tag or gets the dog scanned, it never has to enter the shelter system.
It is my goal as an Advocate to involve YOU in the process.
If these are your priorities, I need your VOTE and Donations!
My campaign is a grassroots one. Donations are appreciated and helpful!
