The shelter confirmed they are changing their policy and ending the practice that put these dogs at risk. We forced their hand and turned this around. Keep your eyes on them to ensure they never try this again.

We will need quite the push to get the signatures we need but, I know you are all wonderful people when it comes to animals and trying to help people out. I have no clue what type of dog I would want, but it would almost definitely be a shelter dog.

We just hit one thousand signatures and the suits ignoring these shelter animals can no longer pretend we are invisible. This momentum proves that people are done tolerating their neglectful policies.

The shelter dogs cannot wait any longer while these corporations ignore our demands. We have to hit that 2,500 signature mark right now to force them to listen.

We are grinding toward that hundred signature mark and I need everyone reading this to get loud right now. Send this link to three people who care about shelter animals and force them to look at the reality these dogs face.

I'm a newly minted veterinarian and I can attest to the mentally healing and emotionally supportive powers of dogs. just make sure you find a good personality fit for your home and consider rescuing from a shelter!s

Dogs need walking, walking improves fitness, fitness helps fight depression. Pets are also proven to help mood disorders and improve an understanding of responsibility. I hope you get a four legged best friend soon.

Getting a dog as a high school softmore was a wonderful way to help cope with the stress of senior year and college planning- great for the family, helps you exercise, depends on you to be its protector- and it makes a good space heater sometime. :) Get this kid a dog!

Having struggled with anxiety and depression my entire life (now 20) my animals have been a great companion. If you're ready for the responsibility make sure you get a beautiful shelter dog. I hope you reach that 500 mark. :)) if you do pls upload a pic of the dog op.

I am a dog trainer in IDAHO. I train therapy dogs. It isn't much work to have a loving friend and companion. Just do the research on temperment of dog and energy level. Best of luck! The effort is worth it! Even if they chew.
