Most of the dogs we have come across are strictly for protection - and we wonder how well cared for. The "search team" yesterday came across several yards full of what we think is fighting dogs in training -- we have to address that in addition to the cat issues.

Lot's of "Oh we love our dog", while they keep her chained up ignored in the front yard. It's the main reason our house is overflowing with fourleggers. When an animal goes missing, most of the folks around here don't even look for them, (or answer found ads in the paper), they just go get another one and their old "pets" end up at my house :( . They don't for a minute understand my dedication, but they usually treat me with indulgence. They think the way I perceive animal rights is crazy, but they seem to smile on my efforts anyway. It's very frustrating, but I keep trying to educate. Nina Susan Loesch wrote: > Wow, that is encouraging. Know what you mean about people thinking > you are nuts!
