Sherrie, Had I been the one to see Pepper,I couldn't have resisted that face either! I'm so glad she has a home with your now.No Kill Shelters are doing a trumendeous job, but as you say, there are problems. I look forward to more on the subject. You are doing a great job in educating people about homeless animals, Sherrie!

In response to message posted by JButler:There's a real difference of opinion among animal people as to whether animals are better off being put down rather than live their entire lives in an institutional setting, but I agree with you. If the facility is run decently, they're definitely better off there. The issue is to make no-kill shelters better, so the animals can have a better quality of life.

In response to message posted by Renie_Burghardt:Actually, I didn't see that particular picture of Pepper until after I already had her. The volunteer who put out the original appeal sent it to me later. When I'm at home, Pepper won't let me out of her sight. I can't imagine her sitting alone in a cage day after day, with no one to love her, and yet there are so many dogs and cats in that very situation. At least the problem has been recognized - that's the first step toward solving it.
