Louisville, KY – Every day 5,500 dogs are euthanized in animal shelters across the country. However, Kentucky artist Mark Barone and his partner Marina Dervan are working to prevent that. The pair has started an organization called "An Act of Dog" to encourage people around the country to make the US a "no kill nation." Shelly Baskin spoke with Barone about his efforts.
An Act of Dog is located at the Mellwood Arts and Entertainment Center in Louisville. When it's completed in 2013, it's expected to raise about $20 million dollars for groups dedicated to the "No Kill" movement.
