I am playful, friendly, smart, and calm. I do NOT get along with cats. Please come see me and get to know me. I am already spayed, so I could go home with you TODAY!

Doc

Pit Bull Terrier [Mix]

Large Young Male Dog Pet ID: 444811


I was brought here because my owner's had too many animals. Now I need a new forever home. I am about 6 months old and 'they' say I'm a 'nice puppy'. You can believe what 'they' say, or you can come here and see for yourself. I am friendly - I get along well with children and other dogs. I am very playful - I'm a puppy after all. Please come see me and get to know me.

I got lost and no one came looking for me. Now I need a new forever home. I am about 4 years old - passed the puppy phase, but still playful. I am smart and friendly. Please come see me and get to know me. Please hurry, I've been here so long & I am a very friendly, laid back boy who doesn't get excited when the other dogs are passing by but I my time here may be limited.

I got lost and no one came looking for me. Now I need a new forever home. I am about 5 years old. I am playful, smart, calm and friendly. I like to talk too. Please come see me and get to know me.

Shelter Dogs' Plea

IN MEMORY OF RAIDER a shelter pet who never got his second chance..........

Tell Me Why . . .
does no one hold me when I cry?

They say we are a good-natured breed,
cheerful and easy to get along with,
that to be happy there is little we need

A place to have fun and not much more,
good food, a warm spot to sleep, and love
but I won't get that down on this floor.

I was brought here when I was fairly young –
a gawky, healthy pup and though it's been a while
I still recall starlight and the bright, warm sun

I remember running on grass and gazing at the sky
I had litter mates once and we would tumble and play
now there are dogs I can't see, but I hear them cry

When humans come to get me they are wearing white
sometimes they take me to an enclosed patio of cement
I can stretch my legs, but I'm alone. To prevent a fight?

Once, a human pulled me out of my cage and on her sleeve
I could smell the confusion and despair from one of my kind
It made me nervous, I whined and I squirmed, wanting to leave

She flinched, a person yelled at her, and they walked away
since that time, when they come for me, there is no smell
no scent of the others who live in this jail of gray

I'm afraid, and sad, wondering how long will I be here?

Someone should know that my soul is alive
My loving heart remains sweet
I haven't a name, just a number:.........

. . . there are no toys, no walks, no treats

Two humans have come to collect me
one is carrying a small plastic bag
The other, with a needle in hand, lifts me up
and lays me down on a cold metal slab
I'm given a shot, but this time it feels different –
it reaches inside of me, and goes deep

Shivering, I feel like I should cry
but all that comes out is a whimper
Why is there no one to hold me?

Tell me why . . .
the others and I must die?

I speak for all the voiceless here in Brevard County Florida. Please listen! The majority of all the animals turned into county shelters end up like this....and if they tell you otherwise.....DON"T FOR ANY REASON BELIEVE THEM.



We treat our murders and sex offenders better than this. What did these animals do to deserve this kind of inhumane treatment? The taking of any kind of life is murder! Your tax dollars are paying for this behavior. Please help us stop this. Be a responsible pet owner, spay and neuter your pets, adopt a shelter pet and save a life. When it comes time to vote for your town officials make sure you know where they stand regarding mass murder of innocent pets, after all you are paying for this! If our town or city elected officials can allow this to happen and make us pay for it, ask yourself what other inhumane behavior are they capable of doing and making us pay for? If we allow this to continue we are just as responsible as our elected officials.
