But some shelter pets don't seem … Continue reading Unshakable Faith

“Abused and left for dead” – or hey, little dog needs help.
I regularly receive forwarded e-mail pleas for shelter pets in need of rescue. Sometimes they come with a story - not the real story of what happened to these pets but an obviously fabricated tale, a lie.

There ought to be a law.
Our public animal "shelters" are killing dogs and cats. They are killing healthy dogs and friendly cats. They kill dogs who haven't been taught to walk on a leash and cats whose home is the community. They kill the old, the young, the middle aged.
