[QUOTE="SuZir, post: 530837, member: 14557"] That really isn't a possibility here. We don't have abandoned dogs a lot. Shelters, even in our biggest cities, usually have only few dogs looking for the new home at time. And those dogs are usually not kept at the shelter but they have volunteer's who temporarily keep those dogs on their own homes and train them. Unfortunately other of our own dogs would probably not be a fan of having 'foster siblings' so I can not do that. Shelters are mainly there so that runaways can be kept that day or two before the owner is found. If people have to give up on their dogs they usually re-home them through websites or with word of mouth etc. Because there is so few rescue dogs here there are in fact several organizations that bring rescue dogs from other countries so people who want to adopt a dog can do so. And those dogs are only brought here after the home is found. But mostly people here just have their dogs as a puppies and buy them from the breeders (and most are pure breed, we have much less mixes than most countries do.) That may play a part for so few getting abandoned. After you pay around 1000 dollars (or double that for the most expensive breeds) for the puppy, you are less likely to abandon it. Especially when the breeder sends you a Christmas card and wants to hear how your dog is doing once or twice a year. Unfortunately the cats are the different matter. For them it is difficult to find new homes and many are abandoned. [/QUOTE]
