Abandoned Dogs Update

Posted by Joy Butler Feb 13, 2007

After two weeks in quarantine, Peaches passed all her medical tests and graduated to the front, where she went up for adoption. From my window in quarantine, I could see her playing in the yard with the other dogs. I was glad she had more room and someone to play with. Sometimes I would go talk to her through the fence. Today she got adopted. I was just getting to know her and she's already gone. I'm not surprised she went so fast. She is a calm, quiet little girl with a fuzzy face and all she wanted was someone to love. Happy ending. Of course her crate in quarantine did not stay empty for long. Now there's a black lab puppy in her place. For the short time he will be there, we will do our best to help him grow and learn puppy manners. He, along with six other dogs, will go through the program until, one day, they too will go home. It's a never-ending stream of homeless dogs and cats. What's wrong with our society to keep our shelters full and overflowing?
