I came across this shocking article. What can be done to change the suffering of these animals? Please pass on the article. Hopefully we can all make a difference.

Did you know that your “harmless” hobby or quick buck helps to contribute to this? yes this video is from an Australian organization but it was filmed in the United States because this is what happens in the United States every hour of every day. Wake up and think before more animals die. And don’t say you’re breeding to enhance the breed. The other “breed enhancements” are in shelters all around you waiting in line for the gas chambers and heart sticks. Don’t be stupid. Be responsible. Spay and neuter.
What you don’t see at the pound

So a friend of mine passed on this story to me. It’s about Boost, a Boxer who got out of his fenced in yard during the day and roamed. The neighbors didn’t know whose dog he was and picked him up and took him to the animal shelter. Long story short it was a kill shelter. The staff lied and said Boost was aggressive and had to be euthanized. So in the time that the neighbors turned him in and the owner called the shelter to see if he had been picked up the shelter staff KILLED him and then showed no compassion toward the owner or toward Boost. Then to top it off they lied lied and lied. But, the cameras don’t lie and there is proof that Boost, God rest his soul, was anything but aggressive.
So please view the links and watch the videos and see for yourself and form your own opinion. But as for me, I believe that something aside from a slap on the wrist should be done and justice should be served. I also wish that people could show more compassion. And last but certainly not least, I wish and pray that kill shelters didn’t have to exist. Too many innocent animals die for so many reasons.
But please see Boost for yourself. Rest in peace sweet boy.

I posted about the group HelpSaveOne.org and the animals on death row that they do their best to save. I was forwarded this in an email and it touched my heart so I just wanted to share it with everyone because there are so many people no involved in the rescue process that think “it’s just a job”. What they don’t seem to realize is the tug of the heart string and the emotional wreckage that comes out of leaving animals behind knowing that their will be death and not that “happy ending” everyone wants to believe.

I just received this from transport (Throw Away Pups) and she wrote this after leaving the shelters tonight.
Through the Eyes of a Transporter
By Brandy Barnes
Throw Away Pups
The endless phone calls, the multiple emails, pulled in many directions, time restraints and pressures, to know so many animals depend on you.
To drive to the hell holes of the “land of free” more like the land of euthanasia.
To walk up and down the halls, 100’s of dogs looking at me “are you here for me?”
Having to tell so many of them sorry, I stop and pet each one, some of them tug so deeply at my heart, that I call many of my rescue friends to beg them for room, and when I have to leave them behind I cry and tell them I will try for next time, most of the time there is no next time, the ones that make the ride show there appreciation in their eyes and with lots of kisses.
This is for ones I leave behind I AM SORRY.
For those who ask what time will I be there, I will get there when I get there, I have so many to say goodbye to.
