“The more I see of man, the more I like dogs.”
—Madame de Staël
Four million cats and dogs — one about every eight seconds — are put down in U.S. shelters every year. That statistic comes from the Humane Society of the United States, one of many groups that work diligently to save and place unwanted, neglected, abused and homeless animals.
The CSRA Humane Society adopted out 230 cats and dogs in 2010, but they remain at capacity — 275 animals — year-round. Some of these animals end up in shelters and foster groups because of irresponsible owners who no longer want them, military deployments, relocating families who opt not to bring the companion animal along or individuals who are no longer physically able to care for them. Many are gentle and are simply in need of a new and loving home. Left with the Humane Society or a foster group, they avoid euthanasia, but the same cannot be said for those who end up with Animal Control.
