Please post your pet advice to an appropriate group. It is inconsiderate to expect people with a focus on WLS to spend time reading posts totally off-topic.

Also, if you have a Fund for Animals clinic in your town, Spaying &

neutering is free during May, as long as the animal has its rabies

shot. The vaccine costs 15-25 dollars & can be given on the day of

surgery. PLEASE neuter your pets! We learned this the hard way, when

someone asked to " adopt " one of our kittens, then used it to blood a

pit bull. Please neuter & spay your pets.. its important.

Just for your future edification, " O.T. " in the subject line

means " Off Topic " and it is there for the benefit of those

who do not want to read " Off Topic " posts.

Hope that helps you in the future.

Hey, I want to thank you all for the feedback and saying it

was ok for me to post that info. I actually wasn't sure if

it was maybe too off-topic, but I thought it was important

enough information to maybe take the risk.

I'm glad to see that more benefitted from it than were offended

by it.

Unfortunately, not in my town but the next town over pet owners are

horrible with their dogs. The animal control goes to the landfills

(dumps) everyday to collect puppies dumped there by the owners.

Puppies picked up by the side of the road because their mother was run

over and dragged to the side the puppies will stay with their mother

even if she is dead. Puppies are put in burlap bags and thrown over

the fence at the shelter, even though there is a night puppy drop off

bin.

Every summer my back yard is filled with pound puppies I foster for

the shelter. ing puppies frees up cages at the shelter so that

other dogs have a chance. I provide food, water, toys, and plenty of

room to play. Shelters can be frightening place for puppies, the

barking, cramped quarters. homes are places that give puppies

a chance to be around a family and get used to being with people.

These puppies are lucky they are part of a program where they are sent

to states with no kill shelters and great spay/neuter programs. There

is actually a demand for puppies. Not every puppy makes it out,

hundreds are killed every month, and almost every grown dog in the

shelter too.
