oh God, I am in trouble now. Did you see this one???

Where is this shelter ? Think this beauty stands a chance of being adopted?

This is a good topic for discussion !
I am one of those who will rescue the underdog and nurse babies back to life or help give old dogs love they've never experienced or long ago lost before it's time for them to cross over. To me, euthanasia is something that I would only use as last resort. I think where the problem lies is in other areas.
There are too many BYB's and ooops litters around, mostly because people don't bat an eye in paying $500 + for a cute little pup. I think this is one of the first problems that needs to be addressed and stopped. Don't know how it can be stopped, but IF people stop paying big amounts for pups then there will be no more money to be made that way.That will help eliminate the BYB's.

I think all newspapers should stop accepting ads for litters,unless the monies made from those litters go straight into rescue. Once again, nothing gained from the 'birthing' experience except that the humans are out money.

For those who'd like to 'experience' having litters, there are enough rescue animals that need foster homes or , better yet, let's have videos for them to watch.

Animals need to be seen as part of the family and not possessions that can be tossed when one tires of them or when they start costing money. There are too many shelters that are filled to the rafters with unwanted pets. Most shelters are left with having to put these animals down in a very inhumane fashion.

I believe that those who are already here should be loved and cared for. To me, a not so perfect animal has the same right to be loved and properly cared for as a healthy one. I believe in quality of life and think that can be given to all of them. There are enough corporations who are looking for tax breaks, why not make it VERY attractive to them to fund treating animals, getting all animals spayed and neutered, providing food and good shelters and sanctuaries for those who are not fortunate enough to find homes.

I think that spaying and neutering should become mandatory and be free of charge for those who can't afford it. ( once again, big corporations can sponsor programs like that ).

I think that people who allow their pets to have litters should be fined BIG time. And I mean BIG time.
If you want to breed, then you should be made to get a license and go through classes so you know what you are doing. 

Oh and finally, those celebrities who parade their pup in front of the camera , should be made to donate a substantial amount to local rescues. Part of why there are too many BYB's and too many pups can be sold for disgusting amounts is because everyone wants a doggie just like so and so.

I have a Newf cross ( 1 year old now) and a Shepherd/Husky/Border Collie cross ( just turned 4) and they get along famously !! Getting Moose was the best thing we ever did , he's a perfect match for Fwirly. He has his 'boisterous' moments and also his 'comatose' time. We walk 3 times a day , every day , they have supervised play in the back yard , and they have a house full of chew toys and other toys to play with. From the beginning ( we got Moose at 12 weeks ) there has been no problem with them, they both get tons of attention, they are both with momma all day long as I work from home ( I know, I'm blessed) and they both get enough attention that hyperness is not turned into giving me Japanese furniture !

I think the key is love, attention,exercise, training, attention,exercise, chewing toys, did I say exercise....

Either to Nicole for fostering or to me in BC. Whichever transport will work out easiest. let's pull this pup and save him !

Nicole, if you want to foster him that's great too, I just want him safe!!
If you can't foster but a transport can be set up to my area, then I'll be more than willing to foster this little man

if you guys can get the transport together and if someone can pull him, then we'll 'foster' him.
I say 'foster' because after I showed hubby he said 'he's ours'. We are presently owned by two loves, one is a Newf cross ( year old ) and the other is a 4 year old active little girl who's an interesting mix of Shepherd/husky ( and I think Border collie)
We would have to get a bigger bed as they sleep with us.

how would we deal with paying back for the 10 bucks and the rabies vac?

We'd need a bill of sale so we can prove at the border how much he is, and we'd need rabies certificate which HAS to be 3 days old or more.
Any and all info can be sent , just email me.

it does look like a high kill place, it's a pound that he's in.

I am at my limit here, but darn, if it comes to live or get killed, maybe I can foster him. The problem though is that i am in BC. He'd need rabies shots before he could cross the border and this is a 30 hour drive away.

this pup won't leave my mind.
Is anyone in a position to pull this dog and or is anyone interested in adopting it?
There is Newf in there, don't know what else but look at that gorgeous face.
I live in BC and thus am beyond too far away. Anyone out there who can save this baby??????

Does anyone live near there?

I just checked with mapquest, she's a 30 hour drive away from me. If that wasn't the case, I'd take a drive with my hubby

There is a Newfie there too, it is breaking my heart to see the pictures of these animals, several are soo scared.

Here's the Newfie, it doesn't say how much time these dogs have but I venture to guess it's not long.

 This DOG - ID#A009012

I am a male, black newfoundland.

The shelter thinks I am about 2 years old.

I have been at the shelter since Mar 18, 2006.

This information is 1 hour old.
