Excuse me if my attitude is a little "idgad". Walk a mile in my shoes of rescue life 24 hours a day 7 days a week, and see how long it takes you to hit the proverbial brick wall of attitude.

If you don't spay and neuter you are a part of the problem.

If you are nonchalant about your animal being placed in the shelter, you are part of the problem.

If you run your mouth about how someone needs to help, but you don't foster, volunteer, donate, advocate, or adopt ... you are the problem.

This year may be one of the worst ones I've seen yet in rescue. We rescuers are getting our hearts broken daily to try to save the lives you dgad about.

We sacrifice everything to do this for no pay, nor glory. Simply because we care more about them than we do ourselves and if we don't do it no one else will.

Quit being the problem. Step up and be a solution, or at least part of the team fighting for one.

Step up, or shut up!!
Plain and simple.

PSA...

These are the faces of just 6 dogs that were euthanized today. 6 highly adoptable dogs. The puppies were barely 7 to 8 weeks old. Their lives had not even begun, and the adult dog pictured below wasn't very old either. He was adopted and returned to the shelter because he had chased chickens. Thousands of animals are sadly euthanized daily, in shelters across the country due to overcrowding.
THIS IS NOT A SHELTER ISSUE!. THIS IS A COMMUNITY ISSUE!. Their's and others deaths are directly related and a result of irresponsible ownership and an unaware, uneducated public on the situation that their and other shelters / rescues are facing .

LEGISLATE, EDUCATE, SPAY & NEUTER, VOLUNTEER, DONATE, FOSTER, ADOPT DON'T SHOP!!!
Just do something....

But for a moment, I will sit here and mourn, for today and each day over their deaths and for the millions of others deaths, that occur each and every day because their pleas went unheard and unanswered. Dogs I never knew. Dogs who never felt love, never got a chance.
Then I will wipe the tears from my cheeks, pick myself up and try to save more tommorow. Because that's WHO I AM, IT'S WHAT LIKE SO MANY OTHERS WHAT I DO!

I'm so sorry that you and so many others were not abled to be saved. 💔

Hey smarty pants...

Just today, there's been a lot of discussion on "Pitbulls".
A good friend Caryl Pereira, sent me this article a few moments ago to correct some misinformation that I had shared earlier this morning on the subject of whether or not "Pitbulls" were aggressive and should be band?
As a person who is fortunate enough to share my life with one ( Suri - a rescued bait dog )
I thought I should share this with you all.
It is lengthy but worth the time to read.
After all what's a few minutes of your time? It could potentially save a life.
Thanks,

PSSST, WANNA KNOW A SECRET?
It's that time of year again. When your yard is at risk of being destroyed by your beloved fluffy diggers....
So here's a tip you may find helpful!

* Try making a digging pit,
Dig a hole the appropriate size that you want, consider a baby pool or if you need one bigger use a pond / pool liner. Insert into the hole you dug. Frame the area out with your choice of materials...I used stuff laying around such as ( rocks and logs from trees that fell ). Refill the hole with the removed soil, as it is free and is a familiar scent. If you need more soil... you can confiscate some from another area, or buy play sand at your local lawn and garden and mix together.
Dogs need multiple textures and surfaces to keep them interested.
Encourage digging by hiding favorite items such as treats and toys. Then praise when using the pit!

The struggle is real folks,
Good luck!

Retractable leashes are not the preferred or safest way to walk your dog. Numerous injuries and issues can arise with their use, to both canine and their human companions. Go to the link below, to see why standard leashes are a better and safer choice - for you and your dog.
