Stop and put yourself in their place....imagine being them....the dogs that are thrown out because they are too old....the ones who are forced to breed over and over....those forced to fight....those abused, hit, beaten....starved.....or tortured.....those left behind because you moved or had a baby or all the other lame excuses......how would you feel? Dont just feel sorry for them....really put yourself in their place and imagine how you would feel! Lets say that you end up in a shelter...all the frightening noises and so much barking...the smell of death and fear...how would you act if you were in their place? Put yourself in a cage with very little, if any, human contact...no yard to run free in....no soft bed to sleep in....no love of a family. How would you act? Then, take these feelings with you to a shelter....understand why the dogs may act afraid or even aggressive....and look beyond that! Give them the very things YOU would want! Patience, understanding, affection, comfort! They all have beautiful souls and hearts capable of giving unconditional love. Humans are the cause of their suffering in the first place....we owe them our time, patience and understanding. Believe me, I understand completely the fear of going into a shelter....the sadness....the overwhelming anxiety.....but, please...remember....its much, much harder to be on the other side of the cage. This is my morning, these are my dogs and I am blessed.
