I chose google scholar which was cited 135 related articles. I looked at an article of Effects of Phenotypic Characteristic on the Length of Stay of Dogs at Two No Kill Animal Shelters. The abstract showed the younger puppies had the shorter length of stay. Medium size dogs had the greatest length of stay. The extra small dogs and puppies remained in the shelter the least amount of time. Their findings showed that the different traits of the animals in a specific shelter and their different characteristics that is desired by the people adopting them are critical for them to improve the welfare of animals served by that shelter. The other article I read was Behavioral Reasons for Relinquishment of Dogs and Cats to 12 Shelters. This shelter is sponsored by the National Council on Pet Population Study and Policy is a national research project designed to explore the characteristics of these cats and dogs and the reasons for their relinquishment. They look at the aggression of the animals to humans. It didn’t show any thing towards his, or how many times they are mated, or the amount of babies they have had, or if they we pure bread status or not. The associations were found between relinquishment and the number of pets in a household, length of ownership, training, age of pet, the difference between the state and the income level of the owners.

I looked at the other websites you listed. I didn't know so many different ones existed. I am using power point for my project. I have looked at power point and I like the things I saw so at this time I choose to use it. I would be afraid at this point to try and use something different because it may not all work out for me and I will be stuck trying to tell about something I wasn't so sure about. I am not familiar with the other websites. I should stick with this one because I am a little more familiar with it.

I thought your topic on No Kill Shelters was very interesting. I'm not a fan of cats or dogs, but I think that it is good to find places for abandoned animals to stay. I also liked how you explained ways that we can contribute to eliminating no kill shelters, including money donations and volunteering. As an improvement, I think you should research some organizations that favor no kill shelters to find out the impact these shelters have on communities and the animals from them. I think the info that you have found so far from Galileo, Proquest, and credo references is going to be good for your project.

ReplyDeleteIn today's society it is very easy to plagiarize because of social media network like Google and Wikipedia. Examples will be when authors write books and steal other authors information. There are so many electronic devises available like smart phones, computers, tablets etc. that plagiarizing is becoming a life style for some people.
"Last week famed primatologist Jane Goodall was found to have plagiarized parts of her new book, but a deeper look reveals a work plagued by rampant copying, obvious errors, and ominous junk science. By Michael Moynihan. Jane Goodall used many plagiarism errors in her book "Seeds of Hope".
