i have a problem with cat rescues who won't adopt to people who will let the cat outside. There are a couple in my area. Most people don't understand that we are VERY, VERY overpopulated with cats, far more than most other cities. We actually have other rescues from all over California, Nevada, and Arizona who come here and take cats off our hands because they don't have "Enough" cats to adopt out in their cities. I would MUCH rather see a cat in a caring, loving home who lets their cats outside, then the cat dead because we are overrun with cats.
I think a big problem with the overpopulation in this country of course is the BYB's. But also, dogs have just become very very disposable. Just like marraige. gays are not ruining marraige, celebrities, and everyone else who doesnt take it seriously are. Back to dogs, I have had THE worst time with chance. He has killed 2 cats... OF MINE, he has eaten 3 couches. He was leash reactive so I had to clear out the petsmart hotel lobby when he came for daycare. He digs in my backyard. But you know what, every SINGLE one of those problems could have been fixed. And they all were. Okay fine he chewed the couch last night but he is now crated because I am back on 8 hour days. A dog is NOT a goldfish. You dont just look at them. You have to WORK with them. Nobody said it was easy, but I can guarantee you it's worth it!
