If so tell us about it, and share your stories and pictures to help encourage others to adopt not shop for their next best friend. There are many wonderful animals waiting for their forever home and without the community adopting they may never get the opportunity to bring joy into the lives of someone who really needs them. <br />There are thousands of animals waiting for a new family. Can you be that family for them? <br /></p> Tue, 17 Feb 2009 00:00:00 -0500 http://www.adoptshelterpets.org/my-new-best-friend/ http://www.adoptshelterpets.org/surviving-with-your-pets-in-today-s-economy/ <p>These times are hard due to the economy and it can be even more difficult when you may have to give up your best friend because someone in your household has lost their job or your house is in forclosure. <br />There are many reasons why someone may have to give up their pet, and in any situation it can be devistating. Many of you may have faced this delima yourselves or know someone who has, and they were able to keep their pet. <br />So many of the animals that have recently arrived at the shelter have come in because people did not know of any alternative to keeping their pets. <br />Do you have any ideas or suggestions? If so please share them with us. <br />Who knows your ideas may help keep a pet in their home. <br /></p> Tue, 03 Mar 2009 00:00:00 -0500 http://www.adoptshelterpets.org/surviving-with-your-pets-in-today-s-economy/ http://www.adoptshelterpets.org/susie/ <p>This is a terrible thing that happened to Susie. Someone left this dog in the park for dead! Who could have possibly done something so horrible to a helpless puppy? Talk to us about how you feel about what happened to Susie. Can you imagine what type of person could have done this? What do you think the punishment should be for this type of crime, prison, community service?</p> Wed, 02 Sep 2009 00:00:00 -0400 http://www.adoptshelterpets.org/susie/
