I'm involved in a rescue organization. This week alone, over 80 dogs were surrendered, mostly to kill shelters, because people don't know any better. There's such a shortage of people who are willing to foster these creatures - they don't know what's going on, only that they must have done something wrong.
While visiting a client, I heard a woman talking about getting rid of her dog because he was 10 years old. I couldn't help it, I just said, "You realize that your dog will be killed, don't you? Who adopts a 10 year old dog? How are you going to explain that to your grandchildren, that the dog was too old? What are they going to think about you?"
My brother lives on a farmette, and they get animals dumped on their private lane on a regular basis. Thank heavens they're such animal lovers - they take them all in.
