Dogs Needing Homes at County Shelters

Many County Shelters are full and need to make space for the stray dogs that they are required to take in. Please save a life by adopting a dog or find a rescue that will take one of these dogs.

What happens when you dump your dog
You are not setting them free - you are condemning it to death!

Many wandering dogs are run down by vehicles.
Some wandering dogs are attacked by other animals.
Some wandering dogs can be infected with Rabies and will die.
Most dogs are not able to hunt for food/water and will starve or die of dehydration.

If your dog is picked up by Animal Control that does not mean it is safe. Animal Control have a limited number of kennels so if the Pound is full they have to make space. 'Making space' means that a dog has to die. This may be a 'stray' or a dog that was surrendered by it's owner. When you dump your dog you are not only responsible for its death but also the death of another dog that has to die to make room for it.

WHY DID YOU HAVE A DOG IF YOU ARE GOING TO DISCARD IT?
