Street Dogs Of South Central

[IRescue452]

Yep, its hard to believe when you're removed from it. When my sister moved from WI to TN she couldn't believe all the dogs roaming around. People would say "oh its been living around here for a few months". Very few people even threw the dogs any food. They'd just walk past them. There were even purebred toy breeds roaming the streets. If any one of those dogs came to my area they'd be adopted so fast. In all my 24 years of living in the Fox Valley I've never really seen a homeless dog on the streets. Only pets that have gotten loose and are being chased by their frantic humans. I'd love to see more rescue groups transporting dogs to areas without stray problems. One day if I have the money I want to drive down to TN and bring back some street dogs to rehab and rehome.

We have an over population problem here in central Alabama also. There are several partnerships here to address some of the problems. We desperately need laws that will address this situation such as Neuter/spay
laws. Here is a link showing how some of the overpopulation is being
addressed.
