[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 406184, member: 1550"] Just a warning about animal shelters. Most are kill shelters. If you want to rehome your dog, but don't want him to be euthanized, please do it yourself (pick the family carefully). Unfortunately, I know too much about most shelters, especially those funded by the states. And they won't tell you they put the dog down...they will say the dog got adopted. Only 20% of the dogs in humane society shelters ever find homes. I actually have a policy that I won't punish an animal because a child won't take care of it. I won't buy any animal for a child at all. If I buy it, I consider it my responsibility to either care for it or find it a great alternative home. Why punish the dog by using the pound and maybe having it die because of irresponsible kids? Sorry to highjack the thread with this, but I'm a major time dog lover :) [/QUOTE]
