Awwwww ! They are so cute ! Our shelter never EVER has any puppies, only full grown, big dogs. ( shepard mix, pit bull mix,doobie mix, boxer mix, ect )
All the pups were sooooooooo cute, were is Indiana again? ( Can someone give me directions from Canada? ) :rolleyes: :cool:
Awww they are all so cute. I wish I could take one of those boxer puppies.
"not cute anymore" is a horrible excuse. She is the cutest :D I hope she finds a good loving home that will treat her like she deserves to be treated.
Wolfsoul, in Ionia County in Michigan they don't do a background check either. I hate when I am there and you know the dog will be back because it's not going to a good home. Several other shelters around us do background check, some just call reference and others don't do same day adoptions. One place I volunteer at does a questioner/background info meeting, then they will disscuss what type of personallity you want in a dog(not which cute dog you think you want) then you meet a few dogs, if the adoption coordinator thinks you are a match then you have to come back another time with any currents dogs to make sure they get along, then they schedule a home visit. Then if you are lucky you can adopted the dog. Sometimes it seems like county shelters have no standards and private resues might make it to hard that people won't adopted from them because they just don't want to get there hearts broke by a person who doesn't even know them! Anyways I strongly believe you should always look into adopting from a shelter or resue group! Both our cats and 2 dogs are resue or shelter animals and they are all awesome pets!
This thread breaks my heart, I feel like crying. :( It makes you stop and think just how many dogs all over the United States are sitting in shelters needing a home, so many of them will never get one. :( Why cant people take the time to get there pets fixed :confused:
I want the pit puppy, she looks a lot like Ebony. Those boxer pups are so adorable. I cant believe the owner gave up the dog because he/she didnt think "she was cute anymore" she is adorable. I honestly dont know if I could work in a shelter I would be in tears every single day. Kudos to you that do it.
Wow, what a nice group of dogs & kitties. I am teary-eyed, especially over that sweetie whose owners abandoned her because she wasn't cute anymore. That makes me so mad :mad: :mad: :mad: Sad thing is, they'll probably go adopt another "cute" puppy. Hard to believe their rate is only 10%, over here there's rarely a dog that stays more than a week or two. when I was looking for a second, I went back time & time again and was told they had no dogs for adoption, every dog there was spoken for.
Lute, I think that sweet husky is sending yo a message... ;)
So sad... I hate looking at these threads. I feel helpless.
Where is Robyn? Doesn't this little girl remind you of Wiggles? She is so cute! I hate to say this because I really am not in a position to take her, but don't let anything bad happen to her. I would love to take her if I could.

Ginger's Mom, no worries! my mom wouldn't let me leave this lil gal to die. if she runs out of time i'll go get her. mom said if we end up rescuing her she isn't going anywhere. :rolleyes:
cyber-sibes, i really wish i could go get him now. we're going to Nashville this weekend and i don't want to get him than make him stay in a crate the whole weekend. he still have a lot of time left. no worried though. i won't let him die. ;)
wolfsoul, let's get them to a shelter where you live. ;)
