The problem is really two fold. Yes Animal Shelter needs to be more proactive about taking in pets. Another issue is that most rental in Fairbanks dont take pets. I live at one of the few places that takes pets and in the past 3 years I have taken 6 pets that were left behind. Pet owners just leave their pets behind because it cost to much to move out of state or they cant find a place that takes pets.

I have called animal shelter many times and they usually say they dont have dispatchers available. Its funny cause one of their dispatchers live across the street from me. Im tired of their excuses. So I usually take the pets in and then have people adopt them at cost. If their shots were out of date... I only charge what it cost me to get them up to date. Most of you are right, the cost to adopt is too high.
You can go onpost and adopt a pet for close to nothing but in Fairbanks it can cost up to $250.

Something gots to give.

Burke please take off your rose colored glasses. Cause you not only had the audicity to say something that naive once but 3 times. Come on now. The Hayes' stole, misapproriated and abused grant monies; that comes from hard working Alaskans like myself who work 60 hours a week to make ends meet. Now how I see it is that yes they deserve every day in jail they got plus an additional 10 or so years. A politician, a social worker, a pastor An Alaskan, knowingly defrauded and abused their positions to use "Hard Working Alaskans Monies" to enrich their church and home. Mr & Mrs Hayes I wish you God Speed and Mercy during their time in jail. And matter of fact they owe me some money. Turn that church over to the community.

Im usually real supportative of positive activities like this but everyone in Fairbanks acts like this team is great! Im embarrassed to be associated with the Grizzlies.

Its not the players and probably not even the coach.
But a poor planning committee that just threw this team together ill-equipped to compete.

I wish you guys sucess in the remainder of the season. But I hope for your own sake that you advocate for better pay and resources so that the men that are choosen to play- can afford to focus and train on that. Its not fair that you have to work full time, squeeze in practice when you can, and be expected to win these games. Honestly I've seen some talent. But its not being fully utilized.

Here is my thoughts on this whole rebate check thing. Summed up in this email I got.

If we spend that money at Wal-Mart, all the money will go to China.

If we spend it on gasoline it will all go to the Arabs

If we spend it on fruit and vegetables it will all go to Mexico,
Honduras, and Guatemala.

If we purchase a good car it will all go to Japan.

If we purchase useless crap it will all go to Taiwan and none of
it will help the American economy.

We need to keep that money here in America, so the only way to keep
that money here at home is to buy prostitutes, strippers, and beer since those are the only businesses still in the US.

Cant wait for my refund.

On Keep spending!
