I was just told about this site www.dogsindanger.com/. It lists all dogs going to be put to sleep soon. Please pass this website on to everyone. This is why I am so against adopting from breeders. When you adopt from a breeder, you don't give one of these dogs a chance.

This is one of many reasons whenever we want an addition to the family, we cruise to the nearest shelter to adopt.

Hey, there is nothing wrong from adopting from a responsible breeder. I have a beautiful purebred female Pomeranian and I would do it all over again if I had the chance. She is my sunshine and she is beyond smart. Before I purchased her I researched different breeders and found a wonderful lady that has been in the business for over 30 years and only breeds purebred Pomeranians. My Pomeranian has champion blood lines.
You should put down backyard breeders and people that purchase a dog and then dump them when they get tired of them.

well, the closest dogs to me are in West Virginia. Thanks for the site - I can keep my eyes open for dogs closer to me. It always makes me so sad.

My Pomeranian has champion blood lines. You should put down backyard breeders and people that purchase a dog and then dump them when they get tired of them. I do cut down people who dump animals and backyard breeders. I think they are the lowest of the low. In fact I believe that if breeding exists, it should be strictly regulated. High fees and a certain amount of litters a year. Many of these purebreds end up in shelters too. In fact 20% of all shelter dogs are purebred. The fact is if people didn't adopt from breeders more animals would find homes. I understand raising a particular breed for a reason like law enforcement. I don't understand those people who buy a purebred because they "need" to have a certain breed. Every breed imaginable is at a shelter. If they want a dog, they should go to a shelter. It saves a life. I'm happy to hear the rest of you have adopted shelter dogs. I wish more people did.

Whales in Danger!! www.whalesrevenge.com/An ambitious campaign to gather 1 million signatures for a petition to stop whaling. Every year thousands of precious mammals are slaughtered in the name of so-called 'scientific research'. Add your voice by signing this campaign then forwarding it everyone you know. Please help us stop the killing.

Please help us stop the killing. I'm involved in outlawing whaling as well. I believe in saving the lives of all animals. I'd rather save an animal than I would most people. No, I'm not a member of PETA. I find their tactics bad.

Petfinder is a great site. Thousands of animals have found homes because of it. Same with the pet stores that don't sell animals (Petsmart and Petco etc).
