Im having a very hard time grasping this. Any time you walk into either of our shelters there are volunteers there. <br /><br />I struggle to watch people say that the dogs stuck at South Robeson Vets lives are so horrible being stuck in a kennel there they are better off put to sleep. What kind of thinking is that?<br /><br />Dogs spend months on end at times in a kennel here at our NO KILL FOR SPACE shelters, should we just have kill shelters and kill them since they have to live in a kennel? Isnt that supporting kill shelters to have that thought process?<br /><br />Reality is its hard to see a dog have to live in a kennel like that. To have a NO KILL for space shelter that is the reality people. Some dogs dont adopt out in a few days, some takes months.<br /><br />What makes the difference? Is the answer to just kill them and put them out of their misery? Really?<br /><br />How about people go and volunteer to be with the dogs, take them outside, play with them and make their lives better. Not only at the vets but at the shelter as well.<br /><br />That is what worries me here with Robeson. It seems it is easier to kill then to actually do something. There is attention on this shelter and support now, use it for the better. <br /><br />Go to the schools, educated on fixing animals and proper animal care. Go door to door hand out flyers with information. Educate the public on their shelter. Get them involved. Rally for a no kill shelter. Actually bring in people that can change it and get it done right instead of just saying you want it that way. SHOW THEM HOW, they are not going to do it on their own.<br /><br />Start a shelter and eventually make the county ran one USELESS and show the county its CHEAPER to pay THAT SHELTER to operate then to run their own. It can be done.<br /><br />Community and volunteers need to want it. <br /><br />I am sure I am going to make people mad. I understand that. I am for better shelters, better care and better animal laws and rights. I look at the big picture.<br /><br />I care about each and every dog. I have a Robeson puppy in my home right now I am fostering and I am in South Dakota. I am not just spewing out of my mouth and doing nothing. Im trying to and I am far away. <br /><br />I pray that someone will form a task force and address these needs within the community and get involved.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5949787219591766047.post-76679760978625938702010-06-09T13:45:45.800-07:002010-06-09T13:45:45.800-07:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08124519865466297699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5949787219591766047.post-72189700948913840422010-06-09T13:32:12.682-07:002010-06-09T13:32:12.682-07:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08124519865466297699noreply@blogger.com
