Moving Day = Abandoned Pets

[bugaboo]

Will post as soon as I get pictures of them.??I have four cats (the oldest was from a pet shop, I think one was from a rescue, then the most recent two are from the local humane society) and three dogs (one was rescued, one was being given away by its owners because I believe they were moving, actually, and the most recent one was from a breeder). \o/

We also have four betta fish who I believe we rescued because Wal-Mart takes awful care of them, usually. ):

But yeah, it's awful when people abandon their pets period. They end up in hellholes or are put down, more often than not. There was a dog at the shelter (while we were still looking for a dog) whose fur was so matted, we couldn't even tell what breed he might have been. I'm assuming they had just recently brought it in, I didn't get a chance to look, but it was awful.

I really wanted a shelter dog, but mom wasn't too keen on the idea. Oh, well. Our new dog is sweet, and I have every intention of making up for it in the future, somehow.
