Anyone have HBO?

[Cincy'sMom]

Unfortunatly, we do not, but there is going to be a documentary on Januray 27 at 7:30 pm about Shelter Dogs. it was filmed ina shelter in New York and will give a behind the scenes look at the decisions and activites of the shelter.

Here's a link to the the home page...Shelter Dogs

I don't either

[Amber]

we do, and Im gonna watch it

[dukedogsmom]

I don't but while in Maryland, I got hooked on Dead Like Me. Now I can't watch it anymore! It's a great show. Also like Six Feet Under

I am definiitely planning on watching it. I have all the HBO channels. If anyone wants me to copy it for them (for their personal use), just let me know. It is supposed to be on several times during the month. You can also purchase it once it has aired on HBO - as it is part of the America Undercover series.

There is a great deal of controversy surrounding the documentary and I for one want to watch it and form my own opinion. Maybe once it airs, we can have a lively debate about it in Doghouse.

I plan on taping it as well, since I always work on Tuesdays.

After I watch it, I would be happy to send it your way though, Amy, if you would like to see it

No, I don't have HBO, but I learned about this documentary
from folks here on Pet Talk. My daughter is going to tape it for
me. I've read a lot about it since, and really do want to see it.
I'd really like to know that some people here are planning on
filming this also, in case my daughter has to make an unforseen
trip out of town on business.

Shelter Dogs is being promoted by a lot of Shelter organizations.

Here is a good link for a lot of info on the film & the film makers.

I don't have HBO, but I'd love to see it. Maybe I can convince Melissa to record it for me.

I recorded the show. I was home while recording it, but I had to leave the room after about 2 minutes. I was crying my eyes out. I am cycling it around some friends from my shelter, but I can let someone borrow it afterwards if they want to.

I heard they showed 3 euthanasias. Did they really show it or just the events leading up to it? If they show the actual euthanasia, then I will not watch it. I'm just not strong enough

[lovemyshiba]

I taped it as well, and have yet to watch it.
I am afraid that it will be too sad.
I plan to watch it this evening, as my husband is out, and I can sit here and be an idiot on my own.

My copy will be going out to Cincy's Mom this week, and she is welcome to circulate it to anyone else who didnt' get to see it.

[CamCamPup33]

I didnt see it! I was hoping to see it!

How was it?

[tatsxxx11]

I saw the preview on HBO and that alone had me in tears. My husband taped it but I don't know if I can bear to watch it. I understand that they take a very controversial, and as they see it, compassionate stand on euthanizing. I just couldn't watch

[lovemyshiba]

I am 5 minutes into it, and Aly, no you do not want to watch.

The shelter featured favors euthanasia to keeping them in kennels for their lives, and they have already shown one.

[tatsxxx11]

That's what I thought Emily You're brave.

[dukedogsmom]

That's why I wouldn't watch it. I get tears in my eyes just going to animal control to pick up a rescue dog. I'm getting HBO hopefully within the next couple of days!
