Yes, I really think the shelters would get more people to adopt these dogs if they were to put in the care and be honest with people who want to take them. I realize that part of the problem is lack of enough funding, but the public service announcements I've been seeing on TV don't tell the public that they are leaving vital medical care out because of the cost. They all focus on asking people to spay and neuter or adopt. If they really want to help their cause they need to be very up-front and honest about why they need donations and be clear about just how much of an emergency it is. In the short-term it might not endear them to people to say "Because we have such little funding little Brutus here cannot get all the vaccines he needs to stay healthy" but in the long-term people would respect their willingness to take responsability and probably be more willing to include them in their list of non-profits to contribute to.Giftbearerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11698066439644185753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24335803.post-73543375058850049782008-07-17T11:20:00.000-04:002008-07-17T11:20:00.000-04:00Glad she's getting a bit better--it's really a sha...Glad she's getting a bit better--it's really a shame she wasn't being taken care of properly.
