The Animal Legal Defense Fund (ALDF) today announced an effort aimed at creating public registries in each state of anyone convicted of felony animal abuse. COTATI, CALIF. –

While many animal shelters already struggle on a day-to-day basis to care for the millions of unwanted animals that are dropped at their door, the numbers have grown to an almost unmanageable degree over the last few years. So what does this mean for animal shelters that are already overflowing?

It’s such an inspiring show, with people who are doing amazing work on behalf of homeless animals. DogTown is the name of an area of Best Friends Animal Society in Angel Canyon, Utah. Shy dogs are often among the first to be euthanized in shelters because they are difficult to adopt, but not at DogTown, a no-kill facility.

Early Adopter. The Shift: Instead of buying your new friend from a pet store or breeder, adopt one from a shelter. Save $$: Up to $500 or more depending on animal and breed. Good for You: Adopting an orphaned animal keeps it from having to be euthanized.

Sasha, adopted at approximately nine months old, has taken roughly thirteen years to trust humans enough to be stroked while she’s standing on the floor. In literature as well as life, the ideal is the safely rescued animal finds the perfect home and becomes the perfect pet. The work of shelters and breed rescue organizations is vital.

A Children’s Guide to Animal Companionship and Safety. Children are also reminded to, for instance: Keep your new dog on a leash because it will keep him or her safe from getting lost, being hit by a car, getting in fights or catching diseases from other animals. I will provide him/her with food, water, shelter and love.

On May 5, 2010, I adopted a two-year-old poodle/terrier mix from our local shelter, Animal Allies. She came from another shelter as a stray, had been abused, was very skinny, and she was extremely shy and afraid of everyone. My name is Jan. I named her Angel. I fell in love with her immediately.

Sadly, some of these pets end up in shelters. Please always consider adoption first when you decided to add a furry or feathered friend to your family. originally appeared on 4 The Love of Animals on August 27, 2010. I want to add my own shout out too, many pets get left behind when children go away to school.
