TGIF !!!!! It is the end of July wow, weekend has arrived.<\/p>\n

There are so many pets sitting in shelters at this moment it is heartbreaking.<\/p>\n

I have been watching on social media lately how people who adopted pets at the beginning of the lock down are now returning them to shelters as they go back to work.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

My question to these dumpers, are you going to dump your kids or other family members now you going back to the office ? What are you teaching your kids? This is not educating them but the opposite, never mind putting a pet into a miserable cage.<\/p>\n

I personally feel that those that dump their pets at shelters should be blacklisted and not able to adopt again, there should be some penalty to pay.<\/p>\n

Rescuers run around looking for fosters, looking for homes for these poor pets and as a cage empties it fills up again thanks to the dumpers.<\/p>\n

When I rescued Layla, I knew in my heart it was for life, she is aging and so am I but with all the expenses that there is I would never ever give her up, she is my fur kid till the end and nothing will make me change my mind on this.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I will not go into stores that sell pets, I am not interested in breeders and will not support them on social media and puppy mills need to close down.<\/p>\n

And for those wanting a pure bred pet you can find one at a pure bred rescue organization on this website.<\/p>\n

https:\/\/www.petfinder.com\/<\/a><\/p>\n

So as I watch daily these poor animals sitting in cages, my heart breaks as we as humans have let them down and they are paying the price for our selfishness.<\/p>\n

Let us pray for all the animals in shelter that they find new homes where they will be cherished and live the rest of their lives, and a big thank you to all rescuers and fosters who are working hard for these animals, you are our heroes.<\/p>\n

Have a safe weekend<\/p>\n

With love from Layla<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
