I went to the SPCA today

Me and my grandpop went to the PSPCA today just to look around at the animals. It was my first time there. I was at other shelters, but never the SPCA. Well, I felt so bad for all the animals there. The dogs look at you with these sad, depressing eyes and when you walk over and just say "hi" to them, their faces light up with smilies. All the dogs were so playful. I loved the Pit Bulls, they were the nicest dogs there. The one little puppy looked so sad. I would walk away just to look at another pup and it would cry if I left it or if I would walk passed its cage. I checked out the cats and I was playing with them. The cats did the same things as the dogs. If you left them, they would meow so sadly, it was depressing.

The dogs and one cat got adopted during the hour and a half while I was there. I just hope all of those pets find happy and loving homes. They are just so nice, I would hate to see them get PTS cause nobody wanted to adopt them.

Doesn't it make you want to take them all home and just love on them? I use to go home crying from the pounds and humane societies. I have not been in a long time, just breaks my heart. I stopped going after I saw this medium sized reddish color dog with a severe underbite where all his bottom teeth showed. He was so sweet, an older dog. I leaned over and gave him some lovin. I went back a couple days later and he was gone. With hope in my heart I had to ask, I really wished I hadn't. He got a home, in Heaven. I guess the lady could see how much it bothered me and said, "sometimes it's better just not to ask". I can still see his little smile with his teeth sticking out, that was at least 6 years ago. I surely hope all the babies you saw today find their own loving home.

I always have such a hard time going as well. I want to take them all home and would if my husband would let me.

I do tell my friends to give to the ASPCA and I mention special animals that I know someone might be interested in.

All of them deserve a special home with unlimited love, understanding and a good dose of fun.

I drop in on a regular basis to give them blankets, towels,bags of food that I find on sale, toys etc. I can never resist going down the hall to look at the cats and dogs and I always swear I will never look again, just drop off the stuff. It never happens, I just have to see who's new and who's missing.

We need more people like you Mike.

I would love to adopt all those poor animals,

Of course I can't so I just look at them hoping they find homes soon!

I would consider walking the dogs at the THS but it's way too far.

I wish MORE people would consider a shelter animal than a baby animal.

The ASPCA has VERY few shelters and lots of money not going to them. Your local SPCA is not the same and you should give directly to them.

I can't go any more. It's too heartbreaking. I can't bring any more home w/me and that's what I want to do. Seeing their sweet, sad faces just tears me up and I can't sleep for weeks afterwards. So I write checks. Not the same as giving a dog or a cat a good, loving, permanent home but it helps w/their expenses. This makes me so sad just writing this.
