i really don't have much of a comment here, because i am extremely uneducated in this area. HOWEVER, there are WAY too many dogs being put down. it is disgusting. before i moved to hollywood, i spent a week in LA looking for a place for myself and cody....and a week later, and after visiting and talking to over 200 different places, i had only about 6 options. many apartments will take rats, but most will not take something over 15 pounds, some over 25 pounds. as of right now, it is a lose-lose situation for the dogs owners, and dogs. we are stuck between a rock and a hard place. what the answer is, i dont know...but SOMETHING has got to happen and fast. this country is failing its animals in a terrible way. i don't know that this will help or not help...but at least by taking some sort of action, it gets more people talking and trying to problem solve rather than everyone ignoring it like it doesn't exist. i HAVE two dogs, and LIVED in LA, and don't hardly know about it....most everyone without dogs has NO idea about anything animal related. at least if we acknowledge it, some sort of starter solution might be able to be figure out.
