So I'm watching the show now and am bawling my eyes out. It just makes me so sad. I was doing some research on no-kill shelters in my area and this is what I came across. It made me laugh, and since I know all of you are crying, maybe it will bring a smile to your face too.
RECENT ADOPTION AD FOUND IN NEWSPAPER
Please help! After two long years of being on a waiting list for a dog, we
have been notified by breed rescue that, at long last, our number has come
up and ... WE ARE HAVING A PUPPY! We must get rid of our children
IMMEDIATELY because we just know how time consuming our new little puppy is
going to be and it just wouldn't be fair to the children. Since our little
puppy will be arriving on Monday we MUST place the children up for adoption
this weekend! They are described as:
One male -- his name is Tommy, Caucasian (English/Irish mix), light blond
hair, blue eyes. Four years old. Excellent disposition. He doesn't bite.
Temperament tested. Has had chicken Pox and is current on all shots.
One female -- her name is Lexie, Caucasian (English/Irish mix), strawberry
blond hair, green eyes quite freckled. Two years old. Can be surly at times.
on-biter, thumb sucker. Has been temperament tested but needs a little
attitude adjusting occasionally. She is current on all shots, would do best
in a one child household.
We really do LOVE our children so much and want to do what's right for them.
But we simply can no longer keep them. Also, we are afraid that they may
hurt our new puppy. I hope you understand that ours is a UNIQUE situation
and we have a real emergency here!
They MUST be placed into your rescue by Sunday night at the latest or we
will be forced to drop them off at the orphanage or along some dark, country
road. Our priority now has to be our new puppy. We may need to place the
children's sire as well if he does not bond well with
