shelters can be so depressing. i have friends in rescue that do tranaports that cant go near them anymore because of the sadness it brings
hey there, you hit the nail on the head about the sadness. My best friend LeeAnn works there and lives with it everyday and hates her job other than she knows the animals are treated humanely because of her being there and she has rescued so many from that shelter and got them into rescue groups, foster homes, and forever homes. She will adopt an animal before she will ever let it be put down. She truly is an amazing woman. I got my Kiki through her last February. She has saved so many little souls from the big E word.
We left the shelter yesterday just wanting so badly to win a lottery so we could buy lots of acres in the country and build a place that would properly house animals in need until we could place them in a forever home. That's our dream and LeeAnns too. I have it all figured out in my head how it would be, nothing like a shelter at all.
It would be their home, with lots of love and comfort, proper care, food, beds to sleep on, people to love them, etc. No bars!!!!!!!!!
They say if you wish or dream hard enough sometimes it comes true, well I will never stop hoping or wishing for this, I feel it is my reason for being here, to save as many animals as I can. For now it's a tough go without enough foster homes, but still I do what needs to be done to save an animal. I just wanted to take every dog out of there yesterday and bring them home, but sadly I can't. The only comfort is knowing that LeeAnn will do what she can to find good homes for as many animals as she can. She has a home for Rumble the Rotti in the pics. Thank God because he's too much for me to handle. he's had a really bad life so far and it shows. He will be going to the son of a lady who does fostering and rescue work. Another one is saved....and that makes me happy.
Your pictures are great by the way!!!!!
Your baby is beautifull.

Doggy hugs, Deb, Monty and Kiki
