The American Humane Society estimates that more than 15 million, healthy, friendly dogs, cats, puppies and kittens will be put to sleep in shelters this year because nobody wants them. There are however, two important things that you can do to help end these needless slaughters. Spay/neuter your pets to prevent unwanted animals, and opt to adopt from your local animal shelter or rescue. Shelters and rescues are filled with cats, dogs, bunnies, birds, ferrets, and even horses and goats. These animals all have one thing in common, they are in need of a loving home. Reasons to Opt to Adopt -You will be saving a life. By adopting an animal from the shelter that is one more animal in this world given a second chance, one less to be marked as destroyed, and one pet that will love you forever. -Shelter pets are current on vaccines, tests, and spay/neuter. Puppies and kittens that are too young to be spayed/neutered are usually given a voucher for a free spay/neuter. All you have to do is pay the adoption fee which can range from $25-$80. Common Myths About Shelter Adoptions "They are all sick" -This just isnt true, but it is the chance you take when you adopt, or buy any animal. Nobody can guarantee the health of any animal. You will find many pets abandoned in shelters are not give up due to behavior problems, but due to pet owners not having the time or energy to train and redirect behavior problems when they arise. The majority of shelters and rescues have a staff of volunteers and foster families dedicated to redirecting improper behavior problems prior to adoption. The second most popular reason pets are given up is because the family is moving, while "he is just too big for our home" is ranked 3rd. The majority are strays that were picked up by animal control or rescuers. "All shelters have are adult dogs and cats." This isnt true, kittens and puppies go very quickly in shelters. Give some thought to the adult adoption. More healthy adult dogs and cats are put to sleep in shelters then puppies and kittens. These adult animals are not a surprise, what you see is what you get. You will already know how big the animal is, they already know basic commands, and do not need the constant supervision and training that goes along with owning a kitten or puppy. Adults are all caught up on vaccines and are spayed/neutered prior to adoption. "But we want a Siamese or Golden Retriever." Believe it or not, pure bred pets make up nearly 40% of the population in shelters. Do not be surprised when you walk into a shelter and find a litter of Siamese kittens, an adult Persian or a beautiful black lab. Being pure bred does not make any animal immune to shelter life. You may also want to take the opportunity to contact the many breed rescues out there. For every pure bred animal is a rescue dedicated to the welfare of that particular breed. Check with your local vet, groomer, shelter, or look to the Internet for a listing of breed rescues








Hello my name is Lisa, I am married my husband Christopher and I have 7 children, yep thats right 7 of them, we have 5 boy's and 2 girls. We have 2 sets of twins so that makes up for the bulk of them.
No I do not have my very own animal rescue shelter, Some day though I will, so for now I do what I can by voluntering and educating those who have no clue to whats is going on in our animal world. There are so many people who have no knowlage as to what takes place day in and day out in animal shelters,puppy mills,testing labs, abuse, neglect the list is far beyond what I could have ever imagined. People need to face reality and see the truth, so on that note If there are pictures on my page that may offend you I am very sorry, but it's reality it's happening all over the world, right in our towns our neighborhoods, innocent helpless animals are dieing every day in shelters, and from abuse and neglect. There are more animals in our world then humans, there are not enough homes for them all, We as the humans need to make a stand and cry out for animals, we need to unite and protect gods creatures. It's not fare to them....SPAYING AND NUTERING your pets will greatly lower the pet over population, also if your family is planning to shop for a new pet PLEASE I BEG YOU do not shop from pet stores, when you shop from pet stores you are supporting puppy mills, if your buying from a breeder really do some digging to make sure your dealing with a respectible breeder but most important the animals that are sitting on hard cold cement floors lonely and scard need you most, there is just something about a pet who has been or is in a shelter, you can see it in thier eyes, the love and the compassion they are so willing to give. So PLEASE when it comes to that day and your really thinking of getting a pet always check with your local animal shelters first. Thank you and God bless you.....

I see by his coat he must be a stray, The untidy look gives him away. He's lost his will and is so thin, Hasn't eaten since God knows when. I know as I coax him through the door, There's always room for one more.

The other night in the freezing rain, That little female came again. Matted and soaked, crying in need, Lost and alone with babies to feed. Her pleading eyes I couldn't ignore, There's always room for one more., There's a new face on the docks today, Hungry but clean, to our dismay, I stroked her head, her body rippled, When she got up I saw she was crippled. She started to go, but fell on the floor. There's always room for one more., There's the poor doggy standing in the rain, I've tried to entice him time and again. One ear is lopsided, the other's been torn, Blind in one eye, lost and forlorn. He's coming now, so I'll open the door. There's always room for one more., These stories are ture, As I've said before, There's always room for one more!, (author unknown)

Animal Cruelty, Cruelty to animals is a serious matter. Like you and me, animals feel pain. Most cruelty cases happen to animals who are too trusting or defenseless. They squeal, shriek and yeowl, but are often never heard by anyone but themselves. Think about what the animal went through at the hands of a merciless criminal. Anyone who is caught committing acts of abuse, cruelty and neglect to an animal deserves to be prosecuted. YOU can help bring justice to the animals who are needlessly abused., REPORT ANIMAL ABUSE TO THE POLICE OR ANIMAL CONTROL IN YOUR AREA.
