My Carnival Entry

This is where DJ came from and where his sister was still living. Thankfully, the family has agreed to let her leave and come up here and join the rest of her siblings. I think people do the best they can, so I'm not going to criticize. I do think people should be more concious of spaying and neutering their animals so that these poor animals don't have to live in an envirionment like this. A couple of pieces of wood and yard debris thown together and a bowl of water (hopefully that's what that is) left out isn't what they deserve.
I recently saw a comment where the poster implied that puppies get adopted, well, sorry to burst that bubble, but they don't always. Many, many times in southern portions of the US, they are being destroyed. And for some odd reason, it's been said that black dogs aren't as quickly adopted as other dogs, whether they be pups or older. Possibly because they don't photograph as well, I don't know. There are only many people to go around that want cute little puppies that aren't pure bred.
I've heard it said more than once - "Oh, I could never foster because I'd want to keep them all!" Well, this is exactly the kind of person who should foster someone who just loves the little critters! Try to think of it this way, if you adopt then you may not have room to save the next one, everyone that passes through your home is a save, so instead of saving just one, you can save lots more and get them off to a good and stable start making them a better candidate to behave well in their new homes. If you have the room in your home and your hearts, try it :)
