The exact reason why I prefer to rescue my fur babies either from a shelter or from going to the shelter.
Buddy, brindle spayed female, 10, rescued at age 2
Somba, fawn spayed female, 8, rescued at age 3
Baby, soon to be spayed sheppard/chow mix, rescued at age 1

That was sooo sad. I am still crying. I dont see how people can abandon part of their family like that. That has made me make my final decision, i'm not buying our next baby from a breeder, we are going to do rescue. (if they aprrove, of course) and we will check shelters first. That was SOOOOO sad. I felt for that dog with all my heart. I am going upstairs to give my babies (nikki and jewels) bigs hugs and lots of love. and i printed the story off. I am going to read it to my boyfriend.

Gosh, I just wish these stories weren't true. You just know it happens all the time. I came across this one which also broke my heart. It kind of gives you insight as to why the rescue organizations are so scutinizing. I am definately going to rescue my next fur baby.
I was born in the Summer a few years ago.
Quite why I was born, I'll never know.
Some folk who owned my mother, decided to breed.
No reason I know of except for their greed;
I know I was hungry, I know I was cold;
They sold me quite early at just five weeks old.
My number one owners seemed friendly at first,
And life was quite good till my bubble burst;
They started to argue, their marriage split up;
And in the AD: "For Sale - 4 months old pup".
Some folk arrived, the next ones in line.
They treated me kind and life was just fine.
But Master dropped dead, and she couldn't cope.
So she sold me again (I'll soon give up hope).
I now had a new home right up in the sky;
We went up in the lift fourteen floors high!
The new folk were kind but they left me all day;
I was bursting to wee and had nowhere to play.
It was boredom, I think, when I chewed up the chair;
They agreed I should go as it just wasn't fair.
The next home was good and I thought "this is it"!
They started to show and I won....well, a bit.
Then somebody told them that I had no bone.
And in went the AD: "For Sale...to a good home".
The next lot were dreadful, they wanted a guard;
But I didn't know how, although I tried hard.
One night they got burgled and I didn't bark;
Tied up in that shed and alone in the dark.
For four months I lay in that cold and dark shed;
With only an old paper sack for a bed.
A small dish of water all slimy and green;
The state I was in, well, it had to be seen!
I longed for destruction, and an end to the pain;
But some new people came and I went off again.
Well now I'm with Rescue and this home is good;
There's walks in the country and lots of good food;
There's kisses and cuddles to great me each day;
But I dread the time they will send me away.
But for now here I stand, skin and bone on all four;
PLEASE......don't let "ME" happen to any of yours!!
