On my way to get a dog...
A Heartland volunteer was driving down the road today and saw a box out front of a house with a sign for free puppies. She stopped and talked to the owners, and they just had one puppy left. I don't know how many there were originally... the owners were giving them away to anyone who'd take them. The scary part about this is that they don't ask any questions or do anything to make sure the puppies are going to a safe home. In fact, they had one lady come by with three kids and take a puppy. She then returned the next day, saying something had happened to the first puppy and she needed another one. And they gave a second one to her. These dogs are unwanted, disposable, and many people don't much care what happens to them. Fortunately our volunteer rescued the last one, and I'm on my way to get the puppy now.

Wake up Lincoln County, Mo. Don't you see what happens every day? Support your local shelter. Talk to people you see, just giving away these poor animals - urge them to get their responsibilities to a shelter where they can be cared for and one day be adopted to a loving home. And tell them that there are free or almost free programs to have their pets altered, so that these poor dogs and cats can live a healthier, longer life.
