Basenji of the Week (21-28 Jan 08) Nicki in Louisiana
-
I don't think anyone believes that weeks/months kenneled is better than finding a new home. It IS a shame that people don't think ahead when they get a pet that is going to live for 10 - 17 yrs. Are you close to retirement age? Do you think you want to travel when you retire? Are you willing to travel with a pet? If not, then get a gerbil {avg life span 2 - 3 yrs} or maybe even a guinea pig {avg life span 4 - 8 yrs} and they don't seem to mind a new family as much.
People need to THINK before getting pets. Pets are not houseplants.
Very well put…. thanks!

It is horrible for me to even think about leaving an animal in a deserted area when you are just tired of them. I can't even watch Animal Planet when they do rescues, it breaks my heart to see animals mistreated. Why do people not think before getting a animal. Thanks God for Brat, and all the other rescue facilities!

Ever see "Dog Town"? Awesome place, but so sad how they acquire some of the dogs. They check the local dump and often find dogs there, trying to escape the sun by curling up in piles of tires,which of course suffocates them.
Sometimes they find dead dogs that have been shot by their owners, etc.It's just very sad.
