I think many go to "friends" rather than actually being posted for adoption. Committing yourself to a relationship for life with a dog is a very serious and personal decision.

Maybe I should just send money to Mexican shelters, or U.S. based soup kitchens rather than address the problems staring me right in the face here in Canada?

Her facts are true, this article is not based on educated facts at all. It was created to sabotage other rescues and their missions, not to help the animals. As your article says "a life is a life".

You posted this at 4:39 in the morning?

They all confirmed that while there are a number of "smaller dogs" for adoption it is widely recognized that the number of medium and large size dogs available outnumber them in some cases by 50 to 1 and that there are actually waiting lists for small adoptable dogs. A sad fact but true. Anne Lakenoreply@blogger.com
