I am proposing that a local nonprofit animal rescue be added to Ralston. I personally believe that all communities should have an animal rescue/shelter, however, Ralston especially. Ralston is a community full of functioning members, who understand the quality of life, which is why I think they would extend this understanding to animals as well. Research has shown that breeders can be detrimental for all animals, which is why rescues are necessary. This would be a place for members of the community to meet and hopefully adopt a new member of their family. This space would also be used to house stray animals that have been dumped by their previous owners so that they aren’t running loose around Ralston. If done correctly, I definitely think the Ralston Animal Rescue could be considered a heart and soul attribute.
