Old age is a horrible reason to put a dog in the shelter. Owning a dog is a responsibility for the life of the dog.

It is more than a shame it is cruel. Dogs end up in pounds because owners are too cheap too lazy too dumb too heartless (or all of these) to care for the animal! It is more than a shame it is cruel.

I'm getting tired of these "victims of the current economy" statements. Trying to frame everything as if this is 1930 is just sloppy and inane. Shelters are *always* full of animals that their owners gave up, for both understandable (such as old age) and inexcusable (e.g., boyfriend of the week doesn't like dogs or former owner couldn't have been bothered to research the trendy breed in the first place) reasons. Animal lovers know that shelters and rescue programs need our support *all* the time. “Right now, animal shelters across this country are filled with four-footed victims of the current economic crisis….”

This girl was about 18-20, looked perfectly healthy, and not apparently on anything. It pissed me off for the dog's sake, as she sat on the sidewalk begging, eating a donut, and feeding part of it to the dog. There is NOT ONE REASON this girl could not get a job. Just lazy. I bought a bag of dogfood and dropped it in her little area. Another hard-hearted comment: I remember seeing a homeless girl who had a beautiful Great Dane as her companion.

Homeless people have a tendency to rob, abuse, and sometimes kill theirs. I'm afraid Ms. Szabo doesn't know much about the homeless population in this country.

Indeed, alcoholism and drug abuse are epidemic in the dog world. “Homelessness affects dogs and people in exactly the same way: suddenly, and through no fault of their own, individuals, regardless of species, become casualties of circumstance.”
