The book, Animal Shelter Portraits , captures just a small glimpse of what our furry friends experience in shelter situations. The book is a great reminder that our decision to adopt them is the difference between life and death. The photos in the book made me want to reach out and save each one of them.

They did not experiment on primates (I asked!), but did experiment on mice and guinea pigs.

However, that doesn’t mean they can’t make great companions for the right adoptive family. Sadly, however, one of the reasons people are hesitant to adopt these dogs is because of the assumption that such dogs are always “damaged goods,&# and can’t be re-trained. Here is what I learned from working with them.

While people with dogs often experience the greatest health benefits, a pet doesn’t necessarily have to be a dog or a cat. Choosing to adopt an animal from a shelter, especially an older dog or cat, can add to the sense of fulfillment, knowing that you’ve provided a home to a pet that may otherwise have been euthanized.

In all of the lovely messages we've been getting, I've noticed two trends: 1) Death is a communal experience as well as an individual one.

And I received confirmation of something I've known since 2004, when we adopted retired racing greyhound, Violet Rays: That there's sort of a critical period for dog-behavior acquisition, and if it's missed, the dog isn't likely to mature into the type of loving being whose behavior we've come to associate with "pet" dogs.
