I know this is a corso site but scroll down a little and read the story. Very good thing to maybe have copied and posted here as a reminder for people that are thinking about getting a dog. LINK

Thank you for posting this, Steve. Will Rambeau posted it last year; it's a sobering reminder to pass along.

Didnt see it was a repost but like you said it is a good reminder.
I just dont understand people that can hurt or do this to such great animals. People like that are right up there on my list next to people that take/kill children. I told my wife working with the ASPCA or similar groups would be something great for me to do but im afraid I would get arrested for hurting people. <img src="http://www.leerburg.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" />

I've never read this exact story before but I've read similar. And this one made the hair on my arms stand up while looking at my bud, Romeo. I do my best each week to volunteer at the shelter and every night that I come home I emotionally drained because with each dog my son and I care for - my heart breaks into a million pieces. Well over 30 a day - homeless, once loved pups, teens and elderly dogs sit in these cages and wait for someone to care for them on a daily, nightly basis. In a matter I dread going there each week because I HATE seeing the owners that ocme in and say "We have to let her go, we Have CHILDREN". In my very own opinan - I grew up around dogs - my children are being raised around dogs/cats/fish... ect. What's better for a child than a best furry friend?
This story brought me to tears.. so sorry I babbled.
I feel more responsibility towards a stray I pick up in the street than some people seem to feel towards dogs they have for years. It is disheartening to say the least.
my personal "lamest excuse": we're moving and can't have a dog. well, SORRY, but i've had dogs and rented for 20 yrs., and ALWAYS was able to find a place that would allow a *large* dog.
as they say "THAT dog won't hunt". and i would hate to work at a shelter and listen to the self-serving *reasons* the dog has to go; i'm afraid i wouldn't be allowed to have any part of the "intake" interview. might go postal <img src="http://www.leerburg.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />
I have heard more than one story of people surrending their "old" dog and leaving with a new puppy. How shelters can allow this just leaves me shaking me head in disbelief!

I agree 100%. We WILL NOT move into a new place unless they allow pets. I don't think we've ever even considered renting from a landlord that wont allow dog/cat. *Shakes head* If one looks HARD enough you will find that MANY landlords are willing to work with you if you provide referances, ect that you are a good pet owner. =0) At least we've had ALOT of success in renting and being able to have our furry friends around. I couldn't imagine life without them. <img src="http://www.leerburg.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />
