its because it is fashionable to have dogs then reality kicks in, like walking it everyday ! sometimes twice a day picking poo up off the graden, stoppping it chewing your house up ! and some people cannot train dogs they dont even know where to start, it then isnt fashionable its a burden.



The dogs then take over the house and owner they become unruly and aggressive and then thw owner cannot cope then they are dumped at dogs home, humans to blame I am afraid, some owners of dogs just aint gotta clue !

nah there aint no credit crunch here Lilli they can all still go out for meals cinema, getting drunk in nightclubs every where is still rammed eveyrnight where I live ! and the shopping are busy every single day



its because they cant be bothered to look after them properly, some even dump them because they want to go on holiday they don realise a dog is for life ! people dont stop and think before they get one unfortunately

shame they don't do the same in trnc, would save dogs tied up in blazing heat,and roaming around having stones thrown at them, getting run over,and starving.





1,931 were healthy - because they were unsuitable to rehome.



would sort the trnc in 1 go
