				 |    Maybe this should be posted in the breeders forum and hopefully when people come here to look for advice about breeding their dog they will see this and think twice before doing it. I doubt you will be able to reach all of them because some could care less what anyone has to say but it may be a life changing thing for those who do read it. I read this one before and I cant reread it

				 |    they gas here in my county. Its so sad. I use to take the dogs all a treat the day before. I would always end up taking 10-20 pups home!! I would buy there shots & worm them. I have a petfinder site. I couldnt afford to spay/neuter but I had adopters sign a contract. I had to stop. I was afraid of my dogs getting parvo or something & it took a lot of time & was expensive but I was able to find some rescues in other areas to take some & as far as I know they still mainly make it out. At least the pups & smaller dogs but many get gassed. It is true, of coarse our dog warden thinks its great. He told me he hated it but I talked to the warden a county over & she said he told her they otta gas, its so great. I dont know if he is just trying to act tough or what but it is aweful & could be prevented.  |

				 |    I'm physically sick to my stomach! I think that is the sadest article I have ever read. Like I said many ,many, times in different threads, it's our government's fault that this happens, in more ways than one. Pet stores and back yard breeder's can be stopped if the government would take a stand. Pathetic is the only word I can think of to say. And your right, this does not have to happen! At all! |

				 |    I have read this before too and cried. I did not want to say anything but I work at a shelter and do animal control and euthanize. We do not use the gas chamber but there are still some shelters in Va that do. We do not get as many animals as most shelters and we pull dogs from other shelters when they have to euthanize some. The dogs are very fortunate to come to our shelter they are not put down and treated with love. All of us that work there have adopted more then one animal form there. We are pretty much no kill as far as dogs are concerned. Cats are not as lucky because farmers have barn cats and will not get them fixed. They just bring the surplus in when they get too many. Of course they are feral and sick and usually inbreed. They are the unlucky ones. Spotsylvania shelter in Fredericksburg Va gets in yorkie mixes and a lot of other small dogs and they euthanize everyday. If anyone is close to that shelter and wants to rescue a dog that is a good place.  Take a look at my shelter's Petfinder site: http://west.petfinder.com/shelters/VA186.html

				 |    I just read this and am in tears. I hate what is done to animals in this country due to nothing other than human irresponsibility and cruelty. I feel bad for the poor animals that face this terrible fate because no one can find it in their hearts to save them, and there are too many to be saved in some cases. What a terrible, sad, and lonely job for those that have to do this to these animals. Bumping this up for others.. it is definitely important to read... |

				 |    I don't think the pet overpopulation can be blamed on the government of all things. If people wouldn't buy from petstores and bybs then they would stop breeding since they were not able to get rid of the pups. Almost any type of dog can be found in a shelter or rescue. People need to spay and neuter ALL their animals before they reach the first heat cycle. I have volunteered at a shelter since I was 18 and the things i have seen are horrific. I can't imagine how the people that actually have to euthanize the animals deal with, i know I couldn't but sadly until overpopulation is under control its a job that will have to be done. Since i was young we have owned a purebred Bichon, purebred lab, pit bull mix, purebred golden, chi/yorkie mix, and yorkie/poodle mix. ALL were either adopted from a rescue, shelter, or came to us as strays and many of them we got when they were still young puppies. so the myth that the only dogs that are in shelters are old, mixed breed, or has problems is completely wrong. |
