The culprit for this surge in animal homelessness is a testimonial to these trying times: human homelessness. Unfortunately, a recession also means that less people are adopting from or donating to shelters. And this all leads to the most unfortunate outcome, euthanasia. Luckily, there is a lot you can do to help.

Do you know of a shelter that is doing good work on behalf of homeless pets? For example, the way animals are sometimes portrayed in advertising and in the media may lead people to believe these animals are damaged, which ultimately, negatively impacts the adoption numbers nationwide,” said Christina Schneider, assistant brand manager.

But I frankly never thought of not helping individual cats and dogs (through adoption) as an option for me. But then I wasn't able to put that theory into practice once weighed against, say, the millions of dogs and cats who are going to be killed for the brutal crime of homelessness. Do you agree with that?

Like every dog they are vulnerable to homelessness and mistreatment. Aside from the breed’s abuses, one finds that adopting out this breed is highly difficult. However, any breed of dog that has been abused, neglected, or homeless may be aggressive to humans or other dogs. As a breed, pit bulls have a bad rap.

So when we adopted a human baby we knew we'd have to teach that human to avoid Violet. We weren't planning to adopt another. When we adopted them we made a commitment to care for them for the rest of their lives. This time of year, I worry about animals who are bought or adopted as gifts. Violet's a member of our family.

I adopted the cats before I became a vegan, and although I don't like the fact that they eat other animals, it is my responsibility to keep them healthy. (I Is keeping animals because they're endangered any different from keeping them because they are homeless? . I intend to stick with rescuing rabbits from now on.)
