  • wow...

    thats really selfish

    wouldnt you want to save and animal

    thats sick, over crowded, scared, ect.?

    i would and hopefully you would too....

    these problems arent the hardest things in the would to fix.... especially .. dirty ones...

  • I don't agree that you should visit all the shelters you can. I do agree that it is important not to get in a hurry and to have done your "homework" and know what type of animal will fit your lifestyle. Then you look until you find that animal. I do believe in chemistry. But I think visiting all the shelters is just going to overwhelm the average pet adopter.

  • I don't think it should matter what kind of shelter you go to. If a dog is sick you

    should still adopt one and get it to a vet. The point is you're going there to give

    animals who have been abandon a second chance to live a good life.

  • her voice is sooo boring

  • you actually shouldn't visit more than 1 shelter/breeder a day. diseases that are contagious have a chance of being spread to a new shelter if you do that.

  • @gretiesmom yuppp

  • Get off the stage!!!

  • Your Intros SUCK!!!

  • Though i believe all shelters should be clean as possible and take care of the animals that they keep, I don't think its fair to penalize a dog because it came from a less than reputable shelter. What's wrong with adopting a good dog from a bad shelter. As long as you know what to look for in a dog whats the issue?

  • well i didnt see the whole thing but the amount i saw was enough there kinda stupid no offense there like stcking there fingers throught the cages and ima volinteer in a shelter and they tell us not to do that since if the dog(animal) enjurs u the y r put in alist to get uthinized becouse the population of dogs is overcrowde plus u can get hurt and u just agrevate the animal

  • Either visit a local shelter or rescue group to find your next pet. Our organization raises money for groups that save these animals and find them their new homes.

  • Thats a ignorant thing to say you cant always asume that.
