RESCUE RESCUE (Reducing Euthanasia at Shelters through Commitment and Underlying Education) is based in Phoenix, Arizona and is considered to be one of the top pet adoption groups in the country. Julie Seal, a Fortune 500 organizational Consultant, is Executive Director of RESCUE. She has assisted NMHP from the beginning, providing volunteer models for both NMHP and other affiliated NMHP adoption and animal groups in Guilford County. Comprised of over 400 volunteers, RESCUE has built a team recognized for their commitment to excellence and considered a model for 21st Century non - profits in the areas of training, job focus, volunteer retention and high level communication between volunteers and with the public. RESCUE is a sister program to NMHP. PETS911 PETS911 is an internet based service that provides information on pet resources in the community and a service where lost pets can be recovered more quickly (but only if both the owner and the person who find the pet know about calling 1888PETS911 or going to the 1888PETS911.org website!) PETS911 helped sponsor NMHP's recent Harlem Globetrotter promotion on Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) basketball. PETS911 is sponsored by Microsoft, Compaq, Kodak, AT&T, PETsMART and many other organizations. PETS911 is an affiliate partner of No more Homeless Pets of the Triad. Leadership Greensboro The flagship leadership program of the Greensboro Chamber of Commerce, Leadership Greensboro (lgso.org) is considered one of the top ten programs of it's kind in the US. Leadership Greensboro members helped form the NMHP program in conjunction with the SPCA of the Triad as a response to growing animal cruelty trends in Guilford County. Leadership Greensboro members have assisted many non-profit community groups in the Triad, including the Greensboro Children's Museum (over 200,000 children visited the museum in the first two years of operation from all over the US and Canada) and HealthServ, providing medical care to those who can't afford treatment. East Market Street Development Corporation East Market Street Development Corporation (EMSD) focuses on revitalizing the East Market Street corridor and providing assistance to four area neighborhoods. EMSD has partnered with No More Homeless Pets to help several neighborhoods with reducing overpopulation problems, assisting with pet quality of life issues (Canine Castles, rabies, general pet health and wellness areas) and working with Animal Control in providing services directly to low income residents. Greensboro Police Department The Greensboro Police Department (GPD) has committed significant resources to their neighborhood plans to build better communities and be proactive in enhancing public safety. NMHP's neighborhood plan has been heralded by top animal groups from around the country as a "breakthrough concept" and fits well into the GPD's long term community plan. Working together, the GPD and NMHP/Leadership Greensboro member affiliates will work to strengthen the bonds within and between neighborhoods, enhancing public safety and enhancing Greensboro's image as a great place to live and work. Guilford County Sheriff's Department The Guilford County Sheriff's Department (GCSD) has provided considerable encouragement and support for the NMHP mission, both to assist the Guilford County Animal Shelter in it's goal to end pet overpopulation and to deal with animal cruelty, particularly in rural areas of Guilford County. Watch for repeating segments of a special interview on Channel 8 between Sheriff BJ Barnes and NMHP Vice President, Dennis Stearns, discussing the mission and importance of this community project to Leadership Greensboro and its affiliate members. Greensboro Symphony The Greensboro Symphony has been a friend to the NMHP program from the beginning, assisting with public awareness in Masterworks and POPs symphonies and developing a series of initiatives for Greensboro City Stage and the 2001/02 Guilford County School year. The Symphony has declared 2001/02 to be the Year of the Pet in its partnership with the public school system, developing a series of programs to promote caring for animals and an awareness of problems surrounding pet overpopulation. More than 50,000 children will benefit from this program.
