LPC, I think of your links as building on what I posted. Clearly there are a number of rescues and shelters that use K 9 in the name. Where does the name k 9 come from?
The K 9 Care A Van idea is quite good. It is a creative way to help the homeless. It may be the first such service for the homeless, but if it works the idea will spread. Homeless people can't relax and enjoy a meal or a sort rest if they are worried about their pets. Knowing their dog is warm and safe and getting fed would let a homeless person just relax and look after themselves for a short while. I am sure the dogs won't mind a chance to eat and sleep in comfort. Once they have done it a few times they will know that it is temporary and it will be a rest for them too.
I do hope the idea catches on elsewhere. There are plenty of homeless elsewhere.
