April 16, 2001 Organization Name: MetroPets Online Founded: Executive Director: Anne Shroeder Address: 43 Randolph Road, #109 Silver Spring, MD 20904 Phone: E-mail: webmaster@metropets.org URL: http://www.metropets.org Mission: The mission of MetroPets Online (MetroPets) is to promote the adoption of homeless animals and the well being of companion animals in the Washington DC metropolitan area. The Washington area has a relatively high euthanasia rate for companion animals yet contains a large number of shelters and rescue organizations. Understanding that the euthanasia rate may be lessened by both making adoption alternatives more easily accessible through a centralized resource and by educating the public, MetroPets coordinates these efforts by working with shelters and rescue organizations. MetroPets provides a single resource through which the general public can learn about animals available for adoption and how best to care for those animals. Background: MetroPets was founded through a cooperative effort of animal shelter volunteers and professional web developers, who hold the belief that the high rate of internet usage (over 60% of the population) in the Washington, DC metropolitan area indicates a web-based approach to the high euthanasia rate of companion animals.

PRESS RELEASE FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Lori Sitler Phone: (302) 577-8314 Pager: (302) 247-1132 Date: May 2, 2002 A.G.'s TASK FORCE ON ANIMAL CRUELTY APPLAUDS NEW LAW (Wilmington, DE): Members of the Attorney General's Task Force on Animal Cruelty and Interpersonal Violence realized one of their goals recently when Governor Minner signed into law House Bill 305. The bill, sponsored by Representative Maier and Senator Bunting, increases the penalties for a person convicted of intentional animal cruelty and animal fighting. It also permits the State or the SPCA to recover the costs of boarding and caring for animals seized from a person charged with cruelty to animals or facilitating animal fighting. Attorney General Brady stated, "This bill holds those who abuse animals accountable, strengthens dog fighting laws and compensates the SPCA for the specialized care these abused and neglected animals require." Murrey Goldthwaite, Executive Director of the Kent County SPCA commented that, "This legislation affects us directly and we are delighted that HB 305 is now law. The bill makes owners responsible for the care of animals who are being held as evidence and allows non-profit animal shelters to re-coup these significant costs." John Caldwell, Executive Director of the Delaware SPCA, shares Goldthwaite's enthusiasm. "HB 305 is tremendous. It is long overdue." Caldwell, whose organization has animal shelters in Stanton and Georgetown, said the new law is, "a great assist to my organization. It takes a tremendous financial burden off of the Delaware SPCA."
