It is so sad. I volunteer at a shelter and they just had a 16 year old little poodle mix come in but she was adopted pretty fast. So many people turn their dogs in saying they bit their kid or someone and legally the shelter has to put it in their record and as we get to know the dogs they are the sweetest things and never tried to bite but people label these dogs as an excuse to dump them. They have asked us volunteers to do write ups on the ones we walk so the potential adoptors will know their true personality. It is so sad to see how scared some of these babies are and just want to be held when you take the out(I help out mainly in the small dog room). I just don't get people and ther are far too many people out there that don't see them as family members and can just drop them off without a look back. |
