Dumped Pets.....

You know what really really gets me ANGRY!...................

Well, I live in the country and it is so sad to see pets, especially dogs get dumped "in the country". These so called pet lovers that do this aught to have their heads examined. Number one they probably think the romantic notion that someone will see their dog and pick it up and give it a great wonderful home and it will live happily ever after. Well folks that just doesn't work that way.

Generally this is what happens to wonderful Rover when he gets dumped.

This poor dog has no idea where he is, gets terrified and wants to find home. The odds of someone picking him up let alone and being able to catch a scared dog is not very likely. These country roads are full of speeding cars and trucks and if your dog isn't traffic savvy......guess what? He will get hit. If he is lucky he will be instantly killed. Otherwise he will lay there and probably die an ugly agonizing death. If he is traffic savvy great.......but he will probably starve to death as a domestic dog has no idea how to hunt for food. If he is smart enough to hunt for food and wonders into a pasture full of livestock and starts the chase.....guess what?.... the land owner will probably shoot and kill the dog. Better the dog than his livestock so they say.

So if he survives all of this without a scratch......guess what? He has to deal with the mighty hunter, the coyote. These guys are very cunning and sly. It doesn't matter if your dog is bigger and more fierce. The coyote is a pack animal and dogs are also on their menu and that again is not a pretty death.

So to all of you folks out there debating whether or not to set you beloved pet free in the country and finding a live happily ever after home, think again. Your dog would be a lot better off in a shelter. He would definitely have a better chance at surviving there and finding a loving home.

Sure, there are people who live in the country who would love to take your dog if they could. That is how we found one of our dogs. She was only 3 months old when she wondered into our yard STARVING, TERRIFIED and EXHAUSTED. She was one of the lucky ones. Oh yes, we also adopted our other dog from a shelter.

Both dogs have been the best dogs we have ever owned.

Oh yeah, the same applies to your wonderful fluffy little kitty.....
