K_K went to the shelter today. Yesterday, an owner dumped their 5 month old purebred dachshund puppy off at the shelter...because it was too 'destructive'. When the owners would leave, they would let the doxie run loose in the house. Leaving a puppy loose unsupervised is like leaving a 2yr old kid unsupervised - you never know what they can get into!
So, the puppy chewed up some stuff, and is now at the shelter...crate training would've stopped that issue from the start. Don't know where the owners got the puppy, if the breeder was contacted for a return (very doubtful or it wouldn't be at the shelter), why the owner didn't try crate training or any training, etc. Puppies don't come out of the box already trained and knowing how to behave...sheesh...

This dachshund pup as well as one or two others will be coming down the road w/ K_K...any fosters out there or anyone looking to adopt - check out the website soon for updated pics of available pups.

That is sad that someone didn't give this puppy a chance. I was at Petsmart today and I did something I hate doing........I went by and saw the kittens/cats that are their for adoption. I just want to take them all home with me everytime I go by there. They have some very cute Calico kittens. They also had a cat there that looked like my cat Snickers....I want another one!!!

Its sad. Most of the dogs are Pits. How long do you keep the dogs before they have to go to the shelter??? I sent this link to some of my friends.

Many of the dogs in our rescue are pits, and they will stay w/ us forever unless adopted...we are no-kill...they will never go to the shelter.
Pits definitely need to stop being bred..they are so overpopulated its not even funny. I read earlier today at least 200 pits die DAILY in one county in California...that's not to say how many across the entire United States die each day.
Thanks! Send it to anyone that may be looking for a companion. Our dogs live in foster homes, so we have a good feel of how they interact w/ people, dogs/cats, how their temperament is, etc.
