there are approximately 3-4 million dogs euthanized yearly;
rescues are full of abused and negleced hounds. Just yesterday we got an email
about a dog who has been left out in this zero and below weather for four nights
and he has frostbite on his toes and back legs. His owner thought he was fine
out in the cold after all he had a dog house with straw in it. Please, there are
too many dogs not finding homes and losing the homes they had now do not add to
the problem. Even very nice people who wnat a puppy and seem to love the puppy
sometimes get worn out with it after a few weeeks and start looking for shelters
to take them in. </FONT></DIV></BODY></HTML>
