Cindy...I so agree with you...and I've been depressed too. Also, I cannot believe people are still issued PERMITS to breed! Which in turn makes people feel like it's OKAY to BREED. It is absolutely depressing to think about! And then, the people out…

I know, which is why I also cross posted the gist of it all and your list to my blog. :) And the best we can strive for each day is to help educate at least one person on it all. Even if we can only change one person a month, it's one person more w…

CindyR commented on CindyR's blog post 'Why more puppies?'

Okay -- even tho I'm at work -- I have to chime in here! ;-) What BLOWS MY MIND are the (otherwise) responsible/respectable members of our community that BREED ON PURPOSE. This list includes veterinarians. I think a veterinarian would be one of the…

Unfortunately, anything we say or post here at Scoop is preaching to the choir :(

Lisa commented on CindyR's blog post 'Why more puppies?'

Yes, I know the type, and yes it breaks my heart each time. The other thing is people who let their cats out all the time and then are indifferent because they didn't come home or such. If you love your cat, keep them in, they'll have a much longer…

Chris Dowd commented on CindyR's blog post 'Why more puppies?'

That poster is great. It should be in every shtler and vet's office. I was in Clovis several years ago and a woman and her daughter brought in their dog to be killed because he'd been attacked and they couldn't afford the vet bills. As I was leaving…

Lisa commented on CindyR's blog post 'Why more puppies?'

Yes, I too worked in a "shelter", but I didn't last as long as you did Cindy. My lasting time was only a week. I couldn't take it after an older man brought his loving companion in to be euthanized because someone fed it ground meat with ground glas…

Espanola Shelter needs towels

Do you have extra towels lying around the house? Maybe some with bleach

spots or tattered edges? We don't mind the "ugly" towels at the

Espanola Valley Humane Society. We can always use blankets and sheets

too, so if you have some extras of those, we could use them as well.

There is no such thing as too many because we regularly have to throw

them away to keep illness to a minimum and bored puppies know no limits

to what they can chew up! We have space to store them… Continue

Lucky still looking for a great home

I am still looking for a new home for my beloved red heeler, Lucky.

As you already know, I am looking for a home, where Lucky can truly bond with a human again who understands the needs of a herding dog. His understanding of heaven is to be exercised, off leash, hiking in the mountains or running next to a bike. He is extremely intelligent and loving and gets along with dogs and cats.

He is very calm and sweet inside the house and the only excitement he expresses with whining, i

Anybody ever built an agility course?

Hi! This is my beautiful Mina... a pit bull/greyhound mix who has asked for her very own agility course!

She is quite the athlete (she LOVES to run and looks just like a greyhound when she does...) and a wanna be gymnast!

Why more puppies?

This older blog is being reposted in honor of all of the people that believe there is NO GOOD REASON for bringing another litter of puppies into the world. No such reason exists. Not while we are euthanizing TONS AND TONS of healthy dogs every year in this country.

This is an issue that has been gnawing at my soul for 10 years now. Hopefully when it all comes tumbling out, it will m… Continue
