Max and his girlfriend, Reba. Until laws are changed to stop unethical and backyard breeders, as well as abusing animals, we fight to save as many as possible. People are cruel, but abusing the mist helpless consigns them to a special place in hell.

Here where I live, a neighbor is on a committee in a nearby town that after many decades is getting it's first animal shelter. Prior to that I assume the animals where shipped off to KC or Omaha. That said, she posted some things the shelter needed and one of the items needed were beds that dogs could lay on and remain off the floor(cold). I purchased one for the new shelter, I figured I could afford that so I did. There are many items needed that cost far less. But I did my best to assist, hopefully there will be at least ONE HAPPY pup in the new shelter!
So many are just killed, not because of anything they did, but because of irresponsible humans. Spay and neuter programs aren't always enough, and it makes me grind my teeth and scream when people like my neighbors refuse to neuter their cat, then complain because they have 6-8 litters of kittens being born under their deck. The bed was an incredibly generous gift. So many of these animals end up on a cold concrete floor covered in filth.Here where I live, a neighbor is on a committee in a nearby town that after many decades is getting it's first animal shelter.

I know one dog ...... off at me though..now passed on German Wirehair, she had to lay on straw in a kennel outside with a dog door into the garage. It is quite the setup, warm and out of the weather but she only had straw and a few blankets.
She was luckier than a lot, and how sad is that?I know one dog ...... off at me though..now passed on German Wirehair, she had to lay on straw in a kennel outside with a dog door into the garage. It is quite the setup, warm and out of the weather but she only had straw and a few blankets.
Wait...not your dog? Lol.....I know a few Huskies that when out in the snow refused to come in...lol...
True...But she had it made in the shade...so to speak. Straw is actually very comfy and easy to change out when it gets dirty. I have been on a few hay rack rides in my youth....the good ole days....I had no complaints!
Max would stay out in the heat if i let him. He loves to go belly up and fall asleep while he sunbathes.
I was just kidding about her being outside...lol....a lot of dogs would love to have a set up that good. We have a turd that lives one street over that leaves his big BLACk dog on a 3' tether in his back yard with NO shade, and an empty water bowl a bowl about 2' out of reach. The poor thing...this is HOUSTON...I've called cops, animal control, humane society and SPCA so many times I have them on speed dial. Because the turd puts a lock on his gate, no one can do anything. Seems they either got rid of the dog, or started keeping it inside, because someone I know called as a back up to me and said a commando raid over the fence was not out of the question.
And off to one of the shelters nearby to do a temperament test. Y'all play nice, and don't win till I get back...lmaoooooo.....
When I lived in California, our local animal shelter was a beautiful facility.
It helped that it was in the same campus as city hall and the police department and that it was located in Silicon Valley, so it did get a nice bit of funding. They also work very closely with breed rescues. If you look at the picture just to the right of the front door, that is an enclosed area protected from the elements that contains a wall of animal cages. That area is for people to drop off animals after hours. The city also had restrictions on the number of dogs that you could own. Each household was limited to 2 dogs unless the owner was actually licensed as a breeder by the city. If your dog was fixed, then the annual dog license was only $20, however if the dog was not, then the dog license was $100.

I know what you mean! I actually used those commercials in my course work when we were talking about effective propaganda, lol. How can you not be affected by those commercials?That ruined my day to read that. So sorry
I'm one who can't even watch a Sarah Mclachlan ASPCA commercial. It pains me too much to think of what animals are put through by humans.
I love this SO MUCH!!!!!! She is such a lucky girl to have so many people who care. What a wonderful, amazing rescue story. It's so great to hear the end result of a rescue like that.
What a beautiful gift! I am sure that bed will make more than one pup comfortable while they are there.

What a great idea! I hate to think of these poor animals being dropped off after hours and having to wait in a cage for hours, but it is way better than them running around loose and getting hurt! I love how strict the town is on animal licensing and control. I imagine it helps a lot!
Made it home...what a doll....if that had been a girl, I may have been in trouble.....lol....but he passed with flying colors, hopefully the rescue I did that test for goes and gets him.
And that's a GOOD thing....if anything ever happens to her mamas, she's coming to me. Yes, we name people to take our dogs in a crisis.
so do we. i have standing arrangements on mine and have three I will take in if the need, god forbid, ever arises
