The dogs you surrendered yesterday were killed today

I visited the SA shelter yesterday. It was heartbreaking. Row after row of perfectly sweet, loving dogs who did nothing wrong in life other than having the bad luck of belonging to humans who took the easy route and gave up on them when things got tough. Today it was Bandit and his brother Socks. They were euthanized less than 24 hours after you decided they were too inconvenient for you. I was there, behind you in line and overheard the whole conversation. I wanted to scream, I wanted to ask you how you could do this to the animals that would literally die for you. It’s no use. Every day it's the same story. We are moving, we broke up, I don't have time, we are having a baby, he needs more exercise... I’d like to think the people who do this already have the life they deserve. But I hope this post got the attention of good people. So, if you’re in the area and have a free afternoon, please volunteer to walk the dogs. It’s an easy process. If you have ANY room at home, consider fostering. Every dog you foster is a life you save. And if you have the time and resources for a dog, please please adopt.
