Via cadhla, whose wording I'm stealing:

If you think that the death of even one animal in a shelter is wrong, that it's always inhumanely done, that the people who work there are heartless...this won't change your mind, because your mind is made up. But the fact of the matter is, there is only so much space and so much money, and if you wonder why spaying and neutering is important, when kittens and puppies are so darn cute, you need to read this.

Sometimes, there are no happy endings.

Spay and neuter your pets.

(the_xtina, do not read this. You already know why, and this article _hurt_)

I am infinitely grateful to the people who, when they couldn't keep DJ, paid money to have a rescue group do an assisted adoption (they showed her at their pet faires, etc. but she stayed in her home) to find another place for her to live. They paid $75 and went along with her to the pet faires until she found a new home, which is our home.

She is the best dog ever.
