Why is it so hard ....

.... To figure this nonsense out????
So many animals are out there ... in shelters. Some shelters are "Kill Shelters" Some are "No Kill Shelters." But, they are ALL becoming swamped with animals right now.
These poor creatures never chose to be bred/born/neglected.
There are enough of these sweet peas to go around ... TWENTY MILLION FOLD.
All of my pets are rescues. I don't judge a pal that, truly, wants a pure bred pup. I, absolutely, understand that.
But, stats show that mixed bred dogs (especially those that are spayed and neutered) live a longer and healthier life than pure breds.
Soooooo .... if you are open to adoption/rescue, I would suggest looking into shelters that are considered "kill shelters." It's sad but true: you'd be saving a life. But, if it's more convenient for you, ANY shelter is better than continuing to propagate the population of dogs and cats right now. We need to reel in this incessant breeding of animals. Many of which are bought/gifts and end up thrown to a curb.
Not to sound like Bob Barker. But, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE spay/neuter your pets.

Anna
