This is heart wrenching. We have pounds that gives them 72 hours to find their owners or a home... My neighbor does rescue/shelter work and now has 10 dogs living with her that were on death row.
How sad for people, who for some reason, are forced to give up their pet knowing this is what their fate will be.
People have to become intelligent pet owners. Spay or neuter you pets!
 
Yes, this breaks my heart. I wish I could take them all in but I don't have the room or the money to adopt any at this time. I was hopeing to get the word out on here, Maybe a 'fishy' person could use a a new non aqautic companion to love.
 
The lack of proper ownership responsibilities fosters this problem to no end. In an effort to help, my wife and I adopt all our pets. We do not go picking out designer animals to assuage our vanity, arrogance and feelings of superiority. Any animals we obtain from rescues are with us until the end of their natural life. They are loved, receive proper veterinary care, receive proper nutrition and proper shelter. We simply cannot care for all the animals that need it, yet feel that our little bit saves at least one life. We adopt because we enjoy the companionship they offer.

I think overflowing shelters are a sad statement about us as the "superior" species.
 
I agree with everything Excuzzzeme said. Skipper (My female cat) is a rescue, Midnight (Male) was a rescue's son, Snowing was a rescues son, and Stripes was a rescue. Yay rescue!

Because there isn't unlimited shelter space or money available to house them.

Actually, most shelters have policies about not taking pets that are brought in to them, for the same reasons I posted above.

This is why if you really care, the best thing you can do is spread the word to purchase pets from shelters and not pet stores or breeders, and do the same yourself if you ever need a pet.

Every cat that I've ever owned (3) came from people who started feeding a local stray, and didn't realized it had adopted them. Once they realized they couldn't take care of them for whatever reason, we took them in.
 
None of the pets I have now have come from a shelter but I like to think that maybe I prevented them from ending up there. At least 3 of them anyway. Smokey was an unwatned kitten that came from an ex friend of mine, they never spayed their female dogs or cats and just let them run wild in the country. Jasper, my dachshund may have ended up in a shelter becuase of his expensive medical problems. he is blind in one eye and partialy blind in the other and has glaucoma(needs 2 types of pricey eye drops in each eye everyother day), and can't hear that well and is only 4 years old. And Muiredach was a starving young cat that found his way to my house in the country, as soon as he trusted me I brought him in and had him fully vetted and neutered. I care deeply for my animals and they are all well cared for. I would like to adopt from a shelter and encourage others to do so, but as of now I can't afford anymore animals.
