I truly believe all these poor dogs know what's going to happen to them - there's no way they can't with all the euthansia happenening on a daily basis....
just watching that little guy (who did find a home I was happy to see) trying to walk down the hall on his belly just re-inforced what I believe. THEY KNOW and feel all the feelings I think a human would feel if left in what I consider jail with a death sentence in so many of these shelters.
It's such a bad bad long time problem - I see no end in site but am glad the word is getting out there more. I do see more and more people adopting rather than buying but then - I see FAR TOO MANY Still breeding which is just adding to the overpopulation of dogs (and cats).
edited to add - not that I am getting any more pets at this time I will never consider a 'buy' - I'd def go to the shelter. I got all my cats from shelters growing up....
