but we make animals don't have a home, that we get them a home and that we don't put the animals to sleepe're able to adopt them out. >> we have a huge number of volunteers who come in and they will walk our dogs, socialize our animals, play with cats, play with them, bring them to adoption events today. >> i volunteer with the animal control center and i do that every week. >> we're in an organization called friends of a.c.c. with that organization, you can donate money if you don't have time. if you do have time, you can come down to the shelter and volunteer to actually have one-on-one time with the animals. if you're like me and you don't have time to give to an animal, if you actually have one of your own, you can get your fix on the weekends, come in and pet them and love them and it's great. >> this has been pet pride 2011 brought to you by san francisco animal care and control. to find out more, visit them on the web at sfgov >> hello, everyone, and thank you for joining us this evening. my name is sandra. i'm part of the arab heritage month committee. we would like to welcome you

live side by side among the eight subgroups of leopards this animal is the most beautiful one the most peaceful predator on the planet the left that is more accustomed to sub-saharan africa but has adapted very easily to the harshness of the russian winter they have been known to attack domestic animals but have never charged to humans just beginning for. looks peta the great day in the sea of japan is famous among divers around the world even veteran divers are amazed by some of its inhabitants diving is a journey doggie is always an adventure. local divers rarely visit to the seas the waters close to home a fall more diverse harvest so much interest than lifetimes can be spent exploring . for dimitri rootless diving is more than a hobby it is his livelihood his video camera hardly ever leaves his side he scrutinizes it before a plunge even a few drops of salty sea water leaking into the protective housing could ruin the film. this holy ghost writes my first experience with a video camera touring at dawn. and since there have been totally carried away by it all my soul it's my busines

right now animal care and control is a woefully underfunded agency, particularly given what animals mean to this city. it doesn't have enough enforcement staff and i've committed to working with the agency, with the mayor's budget office. already been in touch with the city administrator and the budget office about next weir's budget and the need to help animal care and control to be able to administer this program but also its other responsibilities. one of the reasons we put "the apprentice"ship alternative in is so people have maximum experience that they need. the effective date is currently april 1, 2012. i am inclined to extend that date because i want to make sure that animal care an control has all the time it needs to set the program up. that we have all the time we need in this legislative process to make sure we get it right and to make sure the dog walkers are able to adjust to a new ordinance. in terms of vehicle safety, there's a provision for safe transport of animals. some have concluded that that means that we're going to require all dog walkers to have big advance, so t
