You're awesome!I have so much love and respect for people who adopt pets from animal shelters! I have two cats, i picked up one on the street when he was a tiny kitten and I got another cat from craigslist

very nice of you. you have a big heart. It breaks my heart to see all the animals in the shelter

i love no-kill shelters, because they don't euthanize animals that are not claimed quickly enough

that makes me extremely sad. i'm an animal lover, i would adopt all of them if i could

I know, i feel the same way! i've read in many countries in Europe it's permitted the killing of healthy stray dogs
