To Darla – #3 I am sure your shelter is an exception to the rule. I used to work in a shelter and puppies were always the first ones adopted so we only ever euthanized them if they were sick or had some other problem as such. Or one time when we had 2 litters brought in at the same time and both were exceptionally large litters, we did put some down then, less than half anyhow.
Ultimately it is the fault of the people who dont support the shelter – if they knew pups would be adopted, maybe they would have kept them? I dunno…

Very interesting piece. I’ve owned a number of cats, but they were always “house cats.” There were rarely allowed to roam free because, when they’re out, they get into cat fights or bring home ticks, and, once, my aunt’s cat jumped into the house with a bird in its mouth.

Actually here in this area (northwest AL) there is no leash law so many dogs roam around. No they aren’t spayed/neutered in most cases and those who keep their pets home are the odd ones. The shelter will not pick them up and if they get into your animals you can kill the dog but not confine it; if it’s taken to the shelter it will be killed.

I have 8 cats. The white patch on your cat’s chest is lovely!

I don’t trust the animal shelter here in our area. The last time I took some puppies there I found out they had put them to sleep instead of trying to find homes for them. Other people have complained about them too. They just don’t seem to care about the animals and would rather get rid of them than take the time to find homes for them.

I like this article, it teaches people to be responsible, and helps the pet at the same time.
