This is a little long, but very interesting, how people walks away from a pet, I usually don't read sites this long, but this one I did. This is sad http://jimwillis0.tripod.com/tiergarten/id21.html

We put down 5 million animals in this country a year and I'm sure some of you haven't had your dogs/cats fixed and are contributing to this never ending cycle of needless suffering.
I recall a preacher's sermon in which the preacher stated 'God must be a dog lover...', citing the referrences made to dogs in the Bible.

Are there fables about dogs in the Bible?
Dogs are mentioned 14 times in the Bible. In Proverbs the Greyhound breed is mentioned by name. The Bible is a very interesting book, you should read it if you have time.
Anyone who knows me knows I LOVE my dogs. I love all dogs. I love animals. I've had a tender spot in my heart for them since the day I was born.
I always say that dogs (and all animals) automatically go to Heaven when they die because, after all, why would God go to all that trouble to save them on the Ark and then deny them a home in Heaven when they die?
I look forward to getting to Heaven and seeing the dogs, cats, and birds that are there waiting for me.

Oh, and I have never had a cat or dog that wasn't spayed or neutered. I think spaying/neutering should be a requirement for all pet owners unless you're a licensed (yes, I think breeders should be required to pass a licensing exam and be subject to kennel inspections, but I'll elaborate on that another day) breeder.

I like my fiction to be a little more modern. Thanks anyway though.

I totally agree!!! I do that as soon as they are old enough.... in fact, when I spayed my Cat, I also had her front claws taken off so she wouldn't ruin my furniture... but since she is totally litter box trained, and stays in the house ALL the time, there is nothing wrong with that... She goes to the door to LOOK outside, but she will not take one single step outside... she loves her life INSIDE... she IS the queen, afterall, lol... She is now 5 years old, her B'day was just last week. I got her right about the time my dog died of old age.
A thought just entered my mind, why don't we spay and nuter some of these repeat criminals around here?
