Even my favorite poet/author, Kipling (a man who deeply understood the natures of both men and dogs) could not have put it better.<br /><br />But the largest muscle in the body is where we sit and the strongest moves our jaws. So maybe the sentiment is even more accurate if we all got off our behinds and to help rescue efforts and spoke out to encourage everyone to SPAY AND NEUTER and ADOPT NOT SHOP then all shelters could be just that: safe havens to shelter abused animals and the odd true strays, not places where people dispose of pets they no longer find convenient to care for. <br /><br />I find it ironic that the same folks who most object to helping out "because it's a kill shelter" are the same ones who want "just one litter" or won't sterilize their animals and never consider adopting from a shelter or rescue because, never having been to one, they wrongly imagine "they're all problem animals".<br /><br />Thanks for getting the word out. Every little bit helps...<br /><br />I'm currently not allowed to volunteer in person (because I cannot help bringing animals home). But I'm working to chance that and doing what I can otherwise, knowing in-person work, whether volunteering or fostering, is what is most needed.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18005448594027814390noreply@blogger.com
