I do go on local craigslist everyday in my area. Most times a dog or cat is being rehomed due to somebody moving or having a new baby. It saddend me every time. To see the commercials of the poor defenseless animals in shelters always makes me cry.
I am a true animal lover and know that my two girls are part of my family. I believe most YT members feel the same way as I do. I will do anything for my dogs. Save them from a fire, or earthquake, a natural disastor does not preculde ownreship of your animals. Preparation is the answer, and looking into the future and what it may bring to a family with animals needs to be number one priority to pet ownership. Their lives are just as valueable as ours, that is my own personal feelings. It is too sad and heartbreaking to know so many animals are left to die a certain death in overcrowded shelters and left to the elements. i hat to even see a dog running loose in our neighborhood. It is a very small town and animal control will pick them up. I watched in horror a small dog running away from the 'truck" The officer followed the dog, but a day later I did see the dog safe. People are cruel, some do not care, But some do and have big hearts.
