I think the problem is really multiple faceted...there is just not one issue involved. But I think the animals in overflowing shelters is just a sad commentary on our present society. Responsibility, respect...true respect, and being reliable are traits that have fallen through the cracks in the last few generations. We live in such a disposable world. The motto seems to be if it ain't workin for you...just dump it! People are not much in to persevering and fixing stuff...always looking for the new, the shiny and the easy! Breeders should be more careful breeding and placing...buyers should be more long term committed, shelters should not be so stubborn in releasing, some rescuers should lighten up a bit and quit trying to make $, legislation should be tougher on dumpers, and hoarders like me?? Lol!! We should be allowed to own more dogs...legally!!! Lol!!!
