Daisy – a puppy loved by her family,
\nbut she is no different than puppies at shelters being killed<\/div>\n

Those involved in the world of rescue will go to the ends of the earth to save the dogs and cats that society has thrown away.<\/div>\n
These passionate rescuers <\/strong>will spend hours on the
\ncomputer, phone or road. They will forgo nice cars and fancy homes. They
\nwill give up vacations and “free” time – going the extra mile to save one <\/strong>more life<\/strong> that another has deemed worthless.<\/strong><\/div>\n
The video included in this article is direct and to the point. The video is<\/strong> reality. The video needs to be shared<\/strong> with as many people as possible.<\/div>\n
Too many people surrender<\/strong> dogs and cats to the shelter
\nfor ridiculous reasons – moving, change of decor, child on the way, too
\nlittle time, dog is too playful, not playful enough, barks too much,
\ndoesn’t bark enough….the list goes on and on and on.<\/div>\n
On the flip side are those producing<\/strong> the unwanted dogs and cats. Everyone<\/strong> has known someone<\/strong> that has made one of the following statements: “I want my kids to see the beauty of birth” (watch a video!<\/strong>),
\n“I want my dog to have just one litter”, “I won’t let my dog (or cat)
\nnear another un-altered dog (or cat), so she won’t need to be
\nfixed”……then the horrifying<\/strong> “well, the dog slipped out of the fence and OOPS<\/strong> – puppies are on the way”, or “Oops<\/strong>, I wasn’t watching the (unaltered) dogs when they were together closely enough”…..every oops<\/strong> equates to more un-wanted dogs (and cats).<\/div>\n
Some how, some way, some THING<\/strong> needs to change<\/strong>. The children in our nation need to know<\/strong> what every “oops” <\/strong>means.
\nThe shelter isn’t a fun vacation spot for the cats and dogs that live
\nthere. The shelter is a day at the casino – some will win, some will
\nlose – paying with their life.<\/strong><\/div>\n
The best chance that our society has for change is to teach<\/strong> the children the consequences of their actions. Educating our children about responsibility<\/strong> and about the value of life<\/strong>.
\nMany of the adults are too set in their ways to be changed, but the
\nchildren provide an opportunity to change the way things will be in the
\nfuture.<\/div>\n
People that care about dogs and cats are involved in all aspects<\/strong> of society. Opportunities<\/strong> to educate abound.<\/div>\n
Dog lovers involved in churches can create a youth outreach program to
\nteach kids about the importance of altering cats and dogs. They can
\ninform the children that owning a pet is a lifetime responsibility and
\nthat dropping a pet off at a shelter may mean putting that pet to death.<\/div>\n
Youth leaders<\/strong> – take the opportunity to educate Girl Scouts, Boy Scouts, Arts\/Crafts groups, YMCA youth,<\/strong>
\nand more about responsibility, adoption and pet alteration. The more
\nchildren that are reached, the better the future for our society’s pet
\ncompanions.<\/div>\n
Knowledge is power <\/strong>– people need to know what is
\nhappening behind the closed doors of the animal shelters throughout our
\nnation. Many of these shelters are forced to euthanize an astonishing
\nnumber of cats and dogs each day due to a lack of space. Some shelters
\nare worse than others.<\/div>\n
The best animal shelters have the support of the community <\/strong>and
\ninclude community outreach programs to help with spay\/neutering, food
\nfor low income families, as well as adoption and education programs. Get involved.<\/strong> Be the change that you want to see. Everyone<\/strong> can do something<\/strong> – decide what part you will play in making the changes that need to be made.<\/div>\n
The easiest first step that you can do right now<\/strong>, is to forward<\/strong> this article to friends and family. Share<\/strong> it with as many people as you can. Post<\/strong> it to your rescue groups and Facebook groups. Get the word out and help spread the word.<\/div>\n
It is time that the people of this county take responsibility for their
\nactions. The burden has fallen on the shoulders of the passionate
\nrescuers for too long.<\/div>\n
Educate. Volunteer. Reach out and create change. Spay and neuter. Donate. Adopt.
