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.

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. :(

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

I like the smell of scented trash bags.

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.

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.
