The Issue Of Homeless Pets

The number of pets that are homeless have been consistently growing in number over the years and finally reached an all time high. Pounds and shelters are full and overcrowded, turning away and killing pets weekly because there are few alternatives. Still more suffer abandoned, unwanted, and unfed. The problem of homeless pets is one that must be addressed.

Millions of dollars are being poured into the care of homeless pets each year. It is sad and disgusting that such money must be used to care for an issue that could be resolved if the majority of the people would resolve to do their part in controlling it. What is your part? Read on to discover.

If you have a pet of you own, care for it properly. Make sure it has tags and could be easily identified and returned to you in the unfortunate event that it did become lost. Spay or neuter it to help control the issue of overpopulating. Also, take care to train your animal properly, as best as you can.
.

If you do not have a pet, or if you are capable of caring for more than one, adopt it instead of purchasing it from a breeder or pet shop. If everyone would adopt one pet, we would not be dealing with the current problems we have today

Encourage your friends and family to do the same are you are doing. Talk to them about the importance of caring for animals properly and share your pleasurable experience with an adopted pet. The further the message is spread, the more it will be taken seriously and acted upon by others.

If it is within your means, donate to the pet shelters. They are all highly under funded and struggling to support the few animals they have. The more people take this to heart, the easier it will be for pets to be brought off the streets and put into caring loving environments.

When you are looking for a new pet, please always make your first stop your local pet shelter. There are millions of great dogs looking for a home.

Why Should I Adopt A Shelter Pet

Did you know there are thousands and thousands of homeless pets in this country? These poor animals through no fault of their own are presently living in shelters waiting to be adopted or destroyed. Why? For a number of reasons like the bad economy, abusive people, ignorant pet owners, and the list goes on. I don't know about you but this breaks my heart.

I feel for the people that have lost their jobs and homes. A lot of these people were forced to move to apartments which would not let them bring their pets along. Some just could not afford the extra money to care for and feed their pets. They had great animals that unfortunately are also victims of this economical mess. So, do you think they deserve to die because of this? I sure don't!

I just want to make people aware of what a problem this is. I urge anyone who is thinking of getting a pet to please, please check your local animal shelter or pound to find your new pet. You will not believe the selection of pets you will have to choose from. At these shelters you will find the average Mutt, Designer Dogs, and Pedigree Dogs. There is nothing wrong with these animals. They just need a loving home. People seem to forget that animals have feelings and emotions. They hurt, feel sadness/happiness, and don't understand why they were left at shelters. Animals from a shelter are so happy to be adopted that they become very loyal pets to their new owners. You must remember to be patient with these pets. It might take a little time for them to readjust to their new home, just as it would if you adopted a child. Just give them love, attention, and make them part of your family. You will reap the rewards of having a loving and loyal pet for the rest of their life. So please remember when you are thinking of getting a dog to check out your local shelter. You won't be disappointed.

I love animals and feel the need to help them by getting the word out about this serious problem. I have a Links Page on my website with numerous Shelters from all over the country. When you decide to get a pet for you and your family, go to Busters Canine Supply Outlet Links Page and find one of those shelters that has your new pet waiting for you. You will be a Hero in my book! Remember, together we can put an end to animal abuse and neglect.

I Rescued A Human Today

I am a big supporter of animal rescue and adoption. The other day I was surfing the web and came across a great story. It is a story of a dog being adopted from his perspective. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.


Her eyes met mine as she walked down the corridor peering apprehensively into the kennels. I felt her need instantly and knew I had to help her. I wagged my tail, not too exuberantly, so she wouldn't be afraid.

As she stopped at my kennel I blocked her view from a little accident I had in the back of my cage. I didn't want her to know that I hadn't been walked today. Sometimes the shelter keepers get too busy and I didn't want her to think poorly of them.

As she read my kennel card I hoped that she wouldn't feel sad about my past. I only have the future to look forward to and want to make a difference in someone's life. She got down on her knees and made little kissy sounds at me. I shoved my shoulder and side of my head up against the bars to comfort her. Gentle fingertips caressed my neck; she was desperate for companionship.

A tear fell down her cheek and I raised my paw to assure her that al lwould be well. Soon my kennel door opened and her smile was so bright that I instantly jumped into her arms. I would promise to keep her safe. I would promise to always be by her side. I would promise to do everything I could to see that radiant smile and sparkle in her eyes. I was so fortunate that she came down my corridor. So many more are out there who haven't walked the corridors. So many more to be saved. At least I could save one.

I rescued a human today.
