LOVE

These are two of the pups a dog rescue group took from a 'high-kill shelter' that had 41 pups dumped off so they had to 'make room' . The shelter is in South Carolina but they exist everywhere. People mistakenly
 believe that animals in shelters are given an injection and allowed to 'go to sleep'. Not true. Many place them in a room, turn on the gas, and check back in about 20 minutes. Today is Valentine's Day, the day we are supposed to express our love. Why not take it a step further and share your love with a rescued animal. Go visit your local shelter and see whose 'number is up' and spare them a painful ending? Not as easy as buying a
 Hallmark card, but nothing great ever comes easily. 9 million cats and 3 million dogs are 'put to sleep' yearly due to overcrowded conditions in shelters. Just think about that today.

  1. Absolutely true! Great message. There are lots of little ones sitting in shelters right now who have no one to love them... on Valentine's Day or any other day.
