For many, especially in rural areas like so many of those found around Lavaca and Colorado counties, some may feel that shooting unwanted strays is the only solu- tion to dealing with them.

To help keep up with the work, the ladies took to hiring helpers at their place a few years back, something local high school- ers in Sheridan seem more than willing to do each year. It’s hardly cheap, either. Even with deals in place at local veterinary clinics, it costs, on average, about $200 in vet bills for each new dog they take in.
