Save-a-Dog Scheme's No Kill Shelter is under threat of losing its Glen Iris shelter. Stonnington Council's pound tender is for the Lost Dogs' Home - which kills 30-36percent yearly of its Melbourne city impounded cats. On Monday 26th of May, at 7pm Stonnington Councillors vote to decide Save-a-Dogs' fate.

Stonnington has changed its petition rules and accepted a change.org petition without addresses, as well as a Stonnington Dogs petition with addresses.
Photo is of a homeless cat we are trying to help, which has lived in a chicken coop since it was a kitten. So far we cannot get within a metre or two. However, it has befriended a neighbourhood homed cat. 90percent of Victoria's impounded cats are homeless - without owners to contain them, or to convict. Cat curfews rise stray homeless cats, and rise never-ending, expensive, euthanasia.
