Topic: Rescues, Shelters And Adoptions / abandoned dogs I agree. After joining Mydogspace a few weeks ago and after reading everyone's posting about rescuing dogs, I felt the desire to resue one. My oldest daughter and myself went, and it was very heart-wrenching. A few of the dogs were given up because their owners were getting on in age and could no longer care for them (which is understandable and a very courageous thing for them to do). There was one poodle there who was just a bundle of love. My daughter inquired about him and turns out after they evaluated him he was deemed "unadoptable." He was found just wandering around the streets and I guess because of that his temperment was not human-friendly. How sad is that? Just because someone didn't want him, they left him somewhere to fend for himself, and now he can't be adopted. There was a really cool shitzu (sp?) named Patrick. He was really cool. He only had one eye, but when you went up to his kennel he'd walk over and give you his behind to rub, lol. His owner was an older man who'd gone blind and as a result couldn't take Patrick out for walks. Turns out because of that Patrick had regressed a bit and needed to be housetrained. All the dogs I saw were very loving and very happy to see us...... I wanted to take them all home. |
