and I absolutely LOVE cockapoos. The night we got my first yorkie (from a pet store  had no idea about puppy mills), we were planning on getting a cockapoo from a different place, but they sold her while we were on the way to buy her.  as I said, I wouldn't get a mix from a breeder now that I know better, but I would definitely love a mixed dog. |
Here you go Megan~this little guy is 1 yr old and in a kill shelter in TN. He looks just like my Doodlebug who is a Morkie.

They use the heart stick kill method at this shelter and he was scheduled to die today. They used the gas chamber but they changed in April 2010 to heart stick. I just could cry~there is no reason to purposely breed unless you are bettering the PUREbred lines of a breed. NONE!

His face has haunted me since yesterday when I saw his picture. He also was in the YHR email that I got today. He is the reason that irresponsible breeders make me sick! There is no reason that he is sitting in a kill shelter today at 1 yr old other than the
FACT that someone allowed their pets to breed and did not take responsibility for their actions.

I cannot get him out of my head and I know I will never be able to find out if he was rescued or adopted. The poor little guy.
I'm sorry Megan for ranting on your post because you are such a sweet girl.
