After yesterday's post with the brief blurb about the Shelter in Elkhart Indiana and the massive amount of abandoned pets they receive monthly (the original article on MSNBC). Apparently this plight touched many hearts nationwide and the donations have poured in, and people offering to adopt and pay to have the animals shipped to them. Read on the followup here.
Personally I feel this shouldn't have had to happen in the first place. We should all take the time to be concious about our own area shelters and instead of turning a blind eye to the over crowding, or massive amounts of pets being euthanized, pay attention and help however we can.
Petfinder.com along with many shelters have a program going called; Foster a Lonely Pet for the Holidays This program is another good way to help ease the overcrowding, share love with an animal and perhaps help that animal find it's forever home.
This is Thanksgiving Day, share some love, compassion and give thanks to those who work to help save lives.
