Buffalo Humane began as a group of area citizens protesting the announced end of adoptions at the City of Buffalo Animal Shelter, part of the citys costcutting moves to close its serious budget gap. Effectively, the shelter would have become allkill, allowing only 3 days for animals to be claimed or they would be destroyed. The original SaveOurShelter group mobilized quickly and successfully stopped the cuts for the 20042005 fiscal year, with the hope that the 1year reprieve would allow some kind of safety net to be put in place before elimination of the adoption program in July 2005. Fortunately, the anticipated 1year reprieve for the city shelter appeared to become a permanent reprieve. The immediate fight to retain the adoption program seemed to be over, but we knew that more could be done. Buffalo Humane emerged to help fill the gap between what a cashstrapped city could provide and what was needed. Furthermore, a core group of original protest participants wanted to work as a citybased nokill rescue organization, and to support the efforts of individuals throughout the city who make a difference daily in the lives of homeless companion animals.
