Please pardon my frustrations. I love this place- yet this abandonment of pets is Maddening!!!
I realize that we have two animal shelters, Walton County and Alaqua. If most people knew how many animals end up abandon by their owners we might see better solutions to the needless killing of many animals whose owners up and decide they no longer wish to be responsible.
Just is so wrong for owners to decide they don't want to be troubled- I know it's not always the case but from conversations I know too many are not caring for their pets and choosing to "dump" them for very poor reasons.
Now how can we stop 20 dogs a week from being killed at Walton County Animal Control? God knows how many cats etc. Alaqua is full or selective so space usually not there. We need a better option. More adoptions? Please explain what is/can be done!!
Ideas?
Thank you...
