El Paso's Unwanted Pets

[MaggieLovesJimmy]

Every dog and cat my family has ever had has been a stray. And, contrary to what some say, Rottweilers are incredibly gentle dogs as long as you treat them right. All our dogs with an exception of 2 have been Rottweilers and they were all big dumb sweethearts. Unfortunately, most died on the road after getting off their leashes and one was killed by a heartless neighbor who struck him in the head. :(

[imelizabethgaytan]

ugh joy...im from el paso.

[freakmebaby209]

What wonderful & kind people they are!! I wish there was more like them around.

[poiht87hfg]

How about after six days we euthanize the person who abandoned the dog.

[d0861]

I like the smell of scented trash bags.

[moarla]

Breaks my heart to see these dog's eyes who've been let down by humans and will most likely be put down. Just too sad.

[Foothis78]

they are doing such a good job doing what they are doing. I would love to take them all

[SubparPanda]

Psshh stupid people,big dogs are the best...I feel bad for all those left behind :(

[ajaxan]

3 rescues in my house - 2 dogs and a cat. Never bought an animal, never will. I've had my oldest dog for 14 years now, my cat for about 6 years and our newest edition is only a few months old.

[kemry55]

lol they should bring two vans to get more dogs

[LolcatCheese]

I prefer big dogs, they're large, huggable, strong, and perfect as couch potato pillows, I would take all those big dogs! The smaller the dog, the more energetic. seriously.

[coolia111]

omg i cried when i watched this...I love animals and would do anything to save them!!!!!!!!Its just soooo sad when the ppl at the shelter put them down...And yes,they should give them away for free and when im educated to bcome a vet i want to help millions of animal of every kind and i think that ppl should leave A LOT OF LAND FOR WILD ANIMALS!!!!!AND PPL NEED TO STOP ABUSING ANIMALS!!!!!!!!!Its just heartbracking!!!!!! =(

[sshawn18420]

put them in hamburger meat

j/k i have to joke couse its heartbreaking

[kvance44]

This shit pisses me off so fucking bad! If you are a dumbass, don't get a pet!

[imthegreenfaiiry]

i live in el paso and i was thinking of e-mailing this show to come over and take some of the dogs in the shelter! :)

ha, they beat me to it :3

EVERYONE TAKE CARE OF THEIR PETS PLZ

[casperskafs]

It would be easier if they would give the animals away instead of making people pay. In Indiana they give them their shots (which is good) then sell them (for a small fee) If they are gonna kill an animal they need to have a free dog kennel that gives them to people and let them decide weather to get shots or not. Thats better than just killing them anyway

[smilemcg]

The shelter system needs some sort of income though. A lot of adoption fees in Indiana are pretty steep because of everything we do for the dogs. Vetting and food for a large number of animals is very expensive, and giving dogs away for free doesn't help. If you can't afford the adoption fee, you can't afford a pet. It's that simple.

[exenrontexas]

@smilemcg Perhaps a source of income or at least reduced expense on supplies like food and medicines should be the pet food and pet medicine manufacturers.  They, naturally, would expect documentation on what your efforts are which require good record keeping. Considering the over all cost to the community for unwanted pets, the adoption fees can be reduced.

[casperskafs]

Very good point! :) forgot about the food and all that

[Cyanidesin]

Shes prejudiced against big dogs! B****!

[kklloopp]

she is not, it just that no one will buy a giant dog, i myself only like puppies

[idiotsguide101]

@Cyanidesin yes! its not that people in general prefer little dogs to big dogs, its the misconception that big dogs are "hard" to take care of.

[JulieRebu07]

she doesnt prejudiced she said dat dats what most ppl like so in other words the ppl dat go to her shelter are the ones dat prejudice

[ojewel]

I feel so sad for the ones left behind. :-(

[livefreeordie2008]

i know me too at the end there where that dog was watching them take those other dogs that just broke my heart.

[anmoose]

That's a line of work that has to run the full range of emotions, from deeply heartbreaking to enormously rewarding.

They have my sincerest respect.

[Myfrogsnameisbob]

This is so sad. ;(

[megarichard420]

ive been to el paso many times and i have never run across an unwanted animal...but now i want a dog from there to help

[nackyn]

[nackyn]

[yesenia1070]

[ppitstop38]

Bless these women and every rescue group in this country. The way we treat pets is inexcusable.

[welcomegohome]

el paso is less than "any american city". it's a fucking border hell hole. the border sucks ass 100mi north of it and 100mi south of it.

[SniperSplosion]

[AnaLetixoxo]

[wolfwoodnyo]

The video brought tears to my eyes :( One of my dreams is to buy a big plot of land and make an abandoned pet sanctuary.

[TaintedWitch666]

Makes me feel glad i've saved the ones i have know, but I know i can't take anymore in the house (3 large dogs, 1 medium, and 1 small special needs dog; plus 5 cats and 2 ferrets). Full house!

[thelovehandles1985]

i'm glad i saved my dog from the pound. he's the best dog ever. this video made me cry. i need to adopt more

[jerdew]

I guess I am just as bad I have 8 cats and feed all that come to my back porch. I have 6 dogs and feed as many as stop by.
