HSOP Could use some thoughts and prayers...I'm coming to the realization that we are not going to be able to save them all this time. Too much is stacked against us and we are once again in a situation where there are literally no open kennels, and my heart is breaking.

When you get in 5-10 strays in a single day for the second or third day in a row and your capacity is in the 50-60 range...when there is no one stepping up to bail you out, and there is no one else to call for help...what could possibly be the next move?

One day very soon, a very caring and wonderful tech is going to get a list. They are going to dole out the treats, give lots of pets and hugs. They are going to tell each one how that they were very good boys and girls, that it wasn't anything that they did, that it won't hurt at all...it unfortunately came down to space and numbers, and they were just on the wrong side of a list. Hearts are going to break, but they will be there because no one here would allow anyone to cross that rainbow bridge alone. And I/we are going to cry for both the lives lost and for the ones who had to bear witness to it.

Please - adopt - foster - spay/neuter - advocate. Do not let these lives lost be in vain. We can do better. We owe them more.

When your dog comes to the dog kennel because you’re tired of him, because he bothers you, prevents you from going on holiday or other excuses...

He sits and waits.
He's waiting for you to come get him.
A second, a minute, an hour, a day, a month, a year --- he's waiting for you.

He doesn’t know why, but he’s waiting because he trusts you, because unlike you, he loves you.

Listen up well then. Your animal is not a toy.
Think twice before getting a pet. You have the responsibility of a living being and of a family member.
