We were all once unexposed and ignorant to what happens at our local animal “shelters.” I was, had no idea. Unfortunately I’ve learned that the phrase “shelter” doesn’t make it so. Most are not. While you don’t pay attention, dogs will be dying. While you don’t consider ever adopting from one, dogs will be dying. This is being done, and will continue to be done in all of our names, so long as so much of every community remains so drastically under-informed.
