Shetland sheep have changed my life and touched my heart. They have brought me joy, adventure and serenity. Follow along as I live each day influenced by memories of my mighty flock of mini sheep ~ aided and abetted by "Bellamica", the English Shepherd,"Sable", my livestock guardian dog and "Hero" the rescue dog that stole my heart! You'll also meet many of the homeless dogs that I rescue and rehome as part of Bluff Country Canine Rescue.

Out of sight out of mind...?
Please share this with every dog owner that you know!
Oh, but it's a VERY IMPORTANT drop, Linda! And think of all the RIPPLES....
When you consider each generation of animals and the number of offspring it can produce and then multiply that number for each of the offspring and then THEIR offspring, etc., etc., etc. It is staggering how quickly the population is out of control.
Effective spay and neuter programs are the only way that we will ever get anywhere near close to being a no-kill society.
I rarely comment to blogs but your post really touched me. As I sit here with my 17 year old cat Shenangians - I think back to when we found him 5 weeks old -so dirty we thought he was dark brown, covered in fleas and mites. Now his bright orange purring body graces my lap -he's old and thinner than he was but he will be loved here till it is time to let him cross the bridge to join his friends on the other side. Thank you for making a difference - it is an important drop! And it does ripple out :) HUGS to all
Thank you so much ~ for rescuing Shenangians and for your kind words. If only people realized that rescuing a companion animal doesn't just help the animal ~ it adds SO MUCH to the rescuer's life!
I'm not surprised. And this is just for dogs. What about all the other animals?
ReplyDeleteSo sad that so many have become 'throw away' people.
All our animals have come from shelters, and all get fixed; but that is just a drop in the bucket.
*Hugs* ♥
