Somethings are hard to see, hard to know. Those sad stories, the horrific numbers…
BUT..
Don’t turn your head, cause the only way we can change this is to create awareness.

Every year, an estimated 5 to 10 million pets are euthanized in animal shelters only in the United States. Why? Because there is no place for them to go, no homes for them. Yet, we continue to let animals roam freely, unneutered and producing more unwanted animals. Their offspring often go from birth to the shelter where, if they are not adopted before their 6 days are up, they will be killed. That is where the expression “born to die” applies; newly born into this world only to be put to death. What a tragic waste of life. There is a solution for this overpopulation problem, and that is to spay and neuter and adopt.

Also in stead of buying a puppy from a breeder or shop you can choose to adopt a dog from a shelter or from a rescue group. There are also a lot of Rescue Groups  for specific breeds. I am making a list of Animal Rescue Groups for English Bulldogs and other dogs Worldwide, so if you know any please share so they can help more dogs from a deathsentence into a loving home. If you know a rescue group for dogs please mail the information (name/website/contactinformation) to baggybulldogs@gmail.com

Please watch, learn, act and share/like.

Neuter and spay your pets and adopt pets from shelters and rescue groups. Think before you take a pet into your home, so when you do, you make that choice for their whole lifetime.

When you have enough time, money and love to care for a dog for life
look for love in shelters and rescues and save an animal .

Poem I Adopted your Dog today

1 Comment

I adopted your dog today
The one you left at the pound
The one you had for ten years
and no longer wanted around

I adopted your dog today
Did you know he lost weight?
Did you know he is scared and depressed?
And seems to have lost all faith

I adopted your dog today
He had fleas and a little cold
Guess you don’t care what shape he’s in
You abadoned him I’m told

I adopted your dog today
Were you having a baby or moving away?
Did you suddenly develop allergies?
Or was there no reason he couldn’t stay?

I adopted your dog today
He doesn’t play or eat much
I quess he’s very sad inside and
it’ll take time for him to trust

I adopted your dog today
and here he is going to stay
He found his forever home
and a warm bed in wich to lay

I adopted your dog today
and shall give him all he will need
Patience, love and security
so he can forget your selfish deed.

If you want to feel like you’ve made a real difference as a dog owner, adopt a dog from a shelter or rescue group. There are few other ways to make such a huge difference in another creature’s life.

The Humane Society estimates that only in the US six to eight million dogs and cats are surrendered to shelters each year. Of those animals, about half are adopted, and half are euthanized. There are simply more dogs than there are good homes for them
(one reason why spaying and neutering is so important).

There are shelters and rescue groups everywhere. So when thinking of getting a puppy check those organisations first. Rescue groups are organizations that take dogs out of shelters and keep them in foster homes, and sometimes private kennels, until homes can be found. Some are breed-specific, while others take all types of dogs. Overall, they tend to give the dogs more medical and behavioral care than many shelters. Just google for a shelter or rescue group in your area and visit.

Make this world a better place and save a life by adopting!
