I have never wanted something more in my life; I have never spent so much time thinking about something like I had thought about this. Once I finally got what I prayed so hard for, someone took it away. I love almost every species of animal known to mankind. My whole life I have picked up animals that have been dropped off or left in the road and I have cared for them. When I see animals that have been abused or neglected, I get so infuriated. What kind of person would even think about hurting something so innocent? In the year 2013, I had an overwhelming desire to save another life; I wanted to save a puppy. I did not care what kind of puppy, I just wanted to save one from an unpleasant life and give it an enjoyable one. I begged my parents to let me get a dog from the pound, but they told me no. A few months later, my mom and I went on our morning run together before church. The neighbor’s dog always ran with us. We were just getting the midway point of our run when I heard a puppy yelp. The neighbor’s dog …show more content…
Every morning he would walk my mom to the garage when she went to go exercise. When I would come home from school, he would meet me as I got out of my truck, greeting me with bites and whines about how much he missed me while I was away. Camo was not one to lick. Instead, he would lightly bite to show his affection. His favorite things to play with, ever since he was a puppy, were leaves. He almost always had one or two in his mouth, frolicking around like he had just dug up a huge bone. This dog meant more to me than words can describe. He was always there to make me feel better, no matter how much pain I felt. I would tell him how terribly depressed I was or how atrocious of a day I had just had and he would always sit and listen to me rant my feelings to him. After I was finished telling him everything, he would give me a heartfelt kiss and a bite on my face, of course, his signature
About seventy nine percent of families around the world have an animal that they love and share their life with. Most families have either a dog or a cat. These pets are loyal, kind, and loving. We bring them into our homes and take care of them. There are some animals who aren’t fortunate enough to have a family to love and take care of them. These animals are abused and mistreated every day. The Humane Society Of The United States has made it their job to protect these animals and prevent this cruelty before it happens. They spend eighty percent of all of their donations on protecting these poor animals. I believe that these animals deserve a chance to escape these horrible circumstances and find a family who will love and care for them. If you donate you will be a part of these animals lives. You will be giving them a chance to be happy in life. You will be part of helping them find a loving
Ever since I was little, I always wanted a dog. My mother and I realized that we had nothing to do. We decided to look up shelters. 11 years later, I finally convinced my mother to bring me to the animal shelter. On November 27, 2016, my mother and I went on an hour long drive to Pets Inc. At that instant, my mother pointed out that Pets Inc. was open. After we examined the website, we decided it was not too far away, and we could make the drive. We got in the car, and drove to Pets Inc. Finally, we got there, and we went inside. At first, I walked around for a while and pet some dogs. There was a dog named Palmetto, I really wanted her. Sadly, we could not get her due to the
Imagine that for Christmas you got a brand new puppy, you feed it, you train it, you play with it, and one day you run over it. That story could have made you a little sad, even if you didn’t get a dog for Christmas and run over it. Next, does it surprise you that 6.2 million dogs die per year, according to The National Animal Interest Alliance, “3.8 million in homes, veterinary hospitals and under the wheels of a vehicle, and an additional 2.4 million in shelters.” When I said that it probably sounded like I knew what I was talking about with plausible detail.
How does it make you feel that all those animals are going to starve without food? Pretty bad I would hope or that would make you a psychopath. Dozens of animals will starve at this local shelter if we do not make enough money or collect enough dog food. All we need is a donation of your time or your pocket to help these poor animals. You might be questioning “Why don’t you just set them loose in the wild?” because this would increase the percentage of mangy dogs and feral animals running around the town after that they would go to natural instinct and pack up and attack people, toddlers, house pets, livestock and our goal at this animal shelter is to save the dogs and animals out there left for the wild to eat them alive or to get hit by a truck barreling down the freeway.
I constantly feared the worst-case scenario: death. That feeling I had, it was something I wouldn 't wish upon anyone. My heart ached, hoping and praying for the best. Monday, we went to visit her, and she looked awful. She couldn 't even stand. Something in my mind told me she wasn 't going to make it. I tried to fight that feeling, but once we were home, I collapsed on my bead and burst into tears. I couldn 't shake the feeling she was going to die. It was the one time I wished for me to be wrong. Unfortunately, I wasn 't. Tuesday, she ended up passing away while being transported to an emergency animal treatment center.

The statistics are outrageous when it comes to the number of abandoned and neglected animals that are homeless or have to live out their lives in shelters all because owners take it upon themselves not to have their furry friends operated on. An estimated 11,000 pets in this country are euthanized daily, according to a Pet Smart Charities study—that’s half of the 8 million pets that land in shelters each year. Not all of these pets start out homeless. Half of U.S. pet owners who’ve had a pregnant dog or cat say the pregnancy happened “by accident,” according to statistics from the study (NAPS). This is only the number of unwanted animals that are actually caught; let us not forget about the feral animals on the street.
There are many animals that are abused everyday, or put in animal shelters due to owners disowning them. Every year about 70.1% dogs die from dog abuse. A quarter of them are killed in animal shelters due to no one adopting them, because so many people drop off dogs that there is no room in the shelters so they kill the dogs that have been there longest. Just think, at least one dog is killed every 72 hours. More than likely, a dog is killed in an animal shelter somewhere in the world every
As an animal lover, it pains me immensely to see an animal in distress. Animals subjected to abuse have no one to defend them, therefore humans need to speak out as their voices. Unfortunately, in our world, many people have a lack self-restraint and control; their defenceless animals become punching bags. I devote my life to helping animals in any way I can. Often times the abused horses and dogs sent to my barn require immense care and attention. I consistently provide the support these underprivileged animals crave. One cannot imagine the horrors that animals rescued and given to my property have faced, but my boundless love and guardianship always goes a vast way. Humans should strive to make eliminating animal
Countless lives locked away in cages and forgotten about have overwhelmed our society, it has left blood stains on our history as a species and if history has taught us anything, it’s that we have a choice to change our ways of adjusting to situations. A war which was fought in pursuit of ending such criminal means, yet we as human beings do little to nothing to end the horrific crimes of animal deaths in shelters. It is no secret that this world has become infused with problems that have extended from one side of the globe to the other. Amongst these problems lies a terrible truth: nearly every year, sums of almost eight million cats and dogs have been placed in shelters around the world. Out of these vast numbers, half will be
Yet intervention is often reserved for those who have the will to step up when others don’t feel empowered to do so. We serve our community by taking action in instances of animal cruelty, neglect, and abandonment. We have rescued and rehabilitated animals who have been starved to emaciation, beaten, confined in their own waste, shot, and struck by cars. Reducing the incidence of cruelty and healing the wounds of cruelty is our primary concern.
Ever since I was a little girl I’ve always enjoyed the company of animals. Throughout my life i’ve had dogs,a cat and a hamster as pets. I’ve also done some volunteer work with the Safe Cat Foundation with a local foster mom. While volunteering with safe cat, I got to provide rescue for at risk animals, prioritizing on cats with serious medical conditions, along with fostering. I’ve had a two year experience in this foundation with nursing newborn kittens,helped take care of cats with medical conditions and foster the cats until we provide them with a home that has the best fit for them. I have affinity for animals and will do whatever it takes to protect and care for them.For these reasons I’ve selected
This is not a dying dog story, rather a dying cat story. When I was about 15 my little sister adopted a little kitten named “faithful”. At the beginning, I actually kind of liked the little thing. I remember holding it and thinking how cute it was. I hoped it would stay that way forever. Unfortunately, it did not. I learned at a very early age that kittens grow up into evil cats. God bless you if you are a cat lover, but I just do not have that spiritual gift. I digress; when the cat grew up I was outside playing catch with my dog, but this particular time I was using a tennis ball and bat. I would throw it on the ground and then wait for it to bounce and then hit it with a bat. I was doing this for a solid 5 to 10 minutes when my sister’s
How many of you have pets that get out of your backyard? were you able to find him? Have you all seen a movie where a child is abducted and held for ransom? How would you feel if you called the animal shelter and they told you they wanted one hundred eighty dollars within twenty-four hours for storing your dog before you are able to get your him back, knowing you couldn’t afford this? What would you feel if the shelter euthanized your dog because you didn’t have the money in twenty-four hours?
I looked at my dog and made eye contact with his large brown eyes. Time seemed to slow down as I read his eyes like an open book. I still remember the look today, while I was laying on the couch next to him. It was the most terrifying sight I’ve ever seen. My dog, my best friend, and the only thing to trust me with everything calmly could show that he had accepted death. For me though he was still could wagging his tail for us. The night I saw this was October 22nd at 8:02 PM. This dog changed my entire perspective on life. He was a dog that could instantly make a room bloom as a flower would, but with joy. He loved life and those around him and that caused us to love him so much.
