THE, THE NAME ALONE, UH, CAME FROM, YOU KNOW, A BELIEF THAT WE HAVE HERE IN THE FACILITY.
AND IT'S, IT'S THE MOMENT THAT THEY COME IN, OUR, YOU KNOW, THROUGH THE DOORS, THEY COME OVER THAT THRESHOLD.
WE HAVE HOPE THAT WE'RE GONNA FIND THEM A HOME AND HELPING US TO SUCCEED IN DOING THAT.
UM, GETTING THE INFORMATION OUT THERE, WE'RE HERE.
UM, THIS IS WHO'S IN THE BUILDING.
THIS IS WHAT'S AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION, IS JUST A, YOU KNOW, ONE STEPPING STONE INTO FINDING THEM THAT PERFECT HOME.
I STARTED GOING AND HAVING CONVERSATIONS WITH RESTAURANT OWNERS, THE OLIVE BRANCH.
HE WANTED TO KNOW HOW HE COULD HELP.
THAT WAS ONE OF THE FIRST THINGS THAT HE SAID, WELL, HOW CAN I HELP YOU? AND I TOLD HIM, WELL, WHAT WOULD YOU THINK ABOUT PUTTING A LITTLE TENT CARD ON, YOU KNOW, THE TABLES AND THAT PEOPLE CAN EASILY SEE WHERE THEY'RE WAITING ON THEIR FOOD? AND HE SAID, ABSOLUTELY.
AND IT JUST KIND OF SPIRALED FROM THERE,
AND WE STARTED HAVING MORE CONVERSATIONS WITH MORE COMPANIES.
AND EVERYBODY HAS JUST SAID, YES, YOU BRING 'EM TO ME.
WE'LL DO WHATEVER WE CAN TO HELP.
AND NOW WE'RE JUST TRYING TO ENLIST PEOPLE, VOLUNTEERS TO, TO JUST GET THE CARDS OUT AND INTO THE HANDS OF THE PEOPLE WHO WANT TO HELP EACH AND EVERY ONE OF THESE ANIMALS FIND A HOME.
THE QR CODE IS, IT'S, IT'S A KIND OF LIKE A LIVING THING.
IT'S CONSTANTLY BEING UPDATED.
AND SO IF YOU DON'T SEE SOMETHING THAT YOU KNOW SOMEBODY, UH, A CAT OR A DOG THAT APPEALS TO YOU, YOU CHECK BACK THE NEXT DAY OR THE NEXT DAY, YOU KNOW, OR EVERY TIME YOU GO TO YOUR FAVORITE PLACE FOR LUNCH, JUST CHECK AND SEE WHAT WE HAVE.
AND WE'RE ALWAYS HOPING TO MAKE THAT CONNECTION.
AND I TRULY BELIEVE NOW THAT, YOU KNOW, IT'S GONNA BE POSSIBLE FOR US TO FIND THEM HOME.
SO IT'S BEEN A REALLY POSITIVE IDEA.
