Trouble often trickles downhill. This lesson is not lost on Director Sandra Mustafa and her staff at Dog and Kitty City, a Dallas County Animal Shelter hit hard by financial crisis. Donations and adoptions are significanctly down over last year at the "no-kill" shelter.

Just last week her orgainization stopped accepting surrendered dogs and cats for the first time in its 30-year history. Then, on Nov. 6, the plight of Dog and Kitty City was covered by The Dallas Morning News and local TV news outlets.

An overwhelming response from all over North Texas yielded "$15,000 and hundreds of pounds of food," according to a follow up story by the Morning News' Dan McGraw.

The shelter will soon begin accepting surrendered animals once again.
