Half of all adopters give up the animal within the first two years.
Nationally, nine out of ten shelter dogs are killed and one
makes it out alive. One in twelve cats makes it out alive.
Over a two year period, shelter pits scored consistently higher
than any other breed on the SAFER temperament test.
The dog is what we would be if we were not what we are.
--Dreamtime Aboriginal saying
Broken Angels: Saving Animals Everywhere, A Forum For Animal Advocates, Rescuers, Cyberstalkers, Anyone Working to Save & Improve the Lives of Animals, One or Many
Action is eloquence. A wretched soul, bruised with adversity,
we bid be quiet when we hear it cry;
but were we burdened with like weight of pain,
as much or more we should ourselves complain. William Shakespeare
