A Second Chance


Still thinking about getting a dog? Please consider an alternative to pure bred adoption: shelter dogs. The dogs found in shelters are waiting for their second chance at life. Many of them were abandoned, abused or neglected by former "owners". These dogs especially need your love and compassion. They may have been physically and/or mentally abused in some way, making their lives even more tragic than we could even begin to comprehend. They are reaching out and crying for help, although frequently their cries go unheard.

You can make a difference in the life of a scared lonely animal in need of help. The pure bred dogs will always be taken care of and have homes, the shelter dogs however, will not. Each animal is only allowed so much time before they are euthanized due to overcrowding in our local shelters. Has anyone ever provided you with salvation when you needed it? So be an angel, as Sara Mclaughlin says in the ASPCA's commercial, and give an animal in need a second chance at life.
