Dogs In Danger

September 30, 2007 | 8 Comments

New website: Dogs In Danger. They’re trying to save the lives of shelter dogs. Go to the site and look in the left upper corner. From other sections of their site:

A NATIONAL TRAGEDY

We are a nation of dog lovers. Then why is it that the shelters that are expected to provide these animals with a second chance at life are instead being forced to euthanize them?Shelters are the last line for millions of innocent dogs. The public has no idea of the magnitude of this national tragedy. The sad reality is that over four million dogs are killed each year in shelters. Why, in a country of dog lovers, are so many dogs homeless? Because their families abandon them, for reasons like job change, divorce and new baby… and most shelters don’t have the necessary programs to get the dogs the exposure they need to find new homes. Shelters find homes for many dogs, but millions are euthanized. For far too long we have been told there is no other way.

Top 10 reasons dogs are dumped at shelters

  1. Moving
  2. Landlord not allowing pet
  3. Too many animals in household
  4. Cost of pet maintenance
  5. Owner having personal problems
  6. Inadequate facilities
  7. No homes available for litter mates
  8. Having no time for pet
  9. Pet illness
  10. Biting

    I have a few pet issues and I write about them. I write about them in my own blog and in the comments at other blogs. That’s all. But Amanda makes it about morality because she’s stuck me in a weird, little box of moral prejudice she reserves for loud-mouthed animal rights activists…
