The economic downturn has caused lots of problems, and for some pet-owners and all animal-lovers, an especially sad turn has been taken. At the Wake County animal shelter, there has been a 30 percent increase in the number of dogs and cats left behind by owners, and many of those owners are saying they simply cant afford to care for their animals.
But heres a doff of the hat to the good folks at the SPCA of Wake County, who are launching a pet food pantry to provide people with help in feeding their dogs and cats and other pets. Bills for shots and veterinarians are more problematic. But the pantry is a great idea, and one that perhaps other counties can use as well. (The pantrys number is 772-2326. )
A project of Boaz couple Doug and Wanda McGee, the shelter has found homes for 60 dogs. The shelter has more than 40 dogs available for adoption now.
Some are misfit adult dogs, says Doug, an officer for the Albertville Police Department. You feel so sorry for them, you cant stand it. Well keep them because nobody wants them.
The McGees take responsibility for cost of the dogs upkeep and request a usd. 20 donation per adoption.

I am housebroken and very well-behaved. I love to go hunting in the backyard for lizards, go for trips in the car and go to the doggie park to hang out with all my buddies. I am a VERY special dog who truly deserves a great forever home.
I get along with cats, dogs, turtles, birds -- you name it, I love em. I do have a slight handicap in my front paws; however, I dont even realize it because it doesnt slow me down. (I think it kinda gives me character. )

Ive always been a "pound-puppy" owner until my last two wonderful dogs, which I bought from a breeder, and they are adored and worshipped just like my mutts were. But Im giving you my word, after your article and Charles Kareshs letter, Ill never buy a pet anywhere except from the pound. Theres nothing cuter or more lovable with a personality that just makes you smile.
We agree with your editorial about shelter pets being the best pet adoptions. We were visiting Charleston in March and attended the grand opening of Pet Helpers new Adoption Center on Folly Road.

Bobcat is on pain medication and antibiotics while his skin recovers, Meyers said. The dog will not be available for adoption until his wounds are fully healed, which will take at least several weeks.
If and when the owner is found . I would not be bothered to see them staked to the desert floor with their skin exposed for a week or more. Maybe the ignorant fool would learn something about the Arizona sun in July and August. But dont count on it. The kind of people responsible for such inhumane treatment generally have an
