I'd love to take even more but that's not possible right now. The bottom line is that it is so sad that they end up there to begin with. Then on the other hand, thankfully there are shelters with "no kill" policies out there for them to go. Otherwise they'd just be wandering the street or worse.Tommy and Teaghanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07221145121167462176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25742768.post-1152970302718711692006-07-15T08:31:00.000-05:002006-07-15T08:31:00.000-05:00This is so sad.

At the shelter where our Mommy volunteers they have some posters up making fun of some of these reasons--but in the poster the animal is taking the human back to the shelter for these excuses.Pink Chihuahua Princesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16477089656943014259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25742768.post-1152922412138021562006-07-14T19:13:00.000-05:002006-07-14T19:13:00.000-05:00Humans are stupid.

It's sad! People just treat them like property instead of part of the family. And then discard them when they are tired of them. Or all to often abandon or neglect them!

She knows what she would like to find and is hoping that luck will be on her side in this regard. <BR/><BR/>However, she was heartbroken, angered, and completely overwhelmed by the these so-called "reasons" stated on the cards to each animal's cage.
