People use animal shelters for many services, sometimes dropping off an animal they can no longer keep or to search for their new family pet.
I know it's so sad! I love animals of all kinds.  Do you have any animals?
I have a dog which was the first species to be domesticated and has been bred for centuries for various reasons.
Thats interesting.  I had always thought it was cats, because of the egyptians.
Isn't it? The first recorded dog remains buried near a human is 14,700 years old.
Oh ok!  I didn't know that.  
Yes! And the closest living relative to the dog is the gray wolf. That's it.
Ok. Aren't wolves endangered?
The red wolf is in the top five most endangered species of the world.
