It really bothers me how many pets are homeless. I wish that I had a whole bunch of money and I'd use it to start my own rescue and save these precious animals from all the horrible things they encounter. A lot of times people get pets and after they realize what a huge responsibility they are, the owners decide to give them up. This is such a shame! Did you know that if you take a pet to the pound as an owner surrender, they have the right to euthanize them immediately? That is so sad.
Pets have so much to offer people. I can't count the times I've been sick or feeling bad or just sad and guaranteed one of my furballs will be there to comfort me. It's amazing! You should see my Resident's faces at the nursing home on the days we have pet therapy. To see somebody who can be so sad and depressed light up for even five minutes is a great feeling.
If you have a pet, PLEASE get them spayed or neutered! PLEASE! If you are thinking about getting a pet, check with your local shelter or rescue. Even if you're looking for a purebred pet, there are rescues for those too!
