684

One of the things I learned while doing my volunteer orientation at the Escondido Humane Society today is that they currently have 684 animals at the shelter. There must be over 100 kittens in the kitten nursery. It is truly sad. Please, be responsible pet owners and spay and neuter your pets. It is so sad that this many animals need homes. And it isn’t just this shelter – they said every shelter in San Diego County is packed to the rafters with animals right now.

And many of the dogs are pit bulls or pit bull mixes. So sad that these dogs are raised and then neglected. We met a mastiff/pit bull mix named Homer Simpson who was so sweet. He looks fierce, but is so gentle. Someone had cut off his ears. I don’t even know how people could do such a thing.

And if there’s room in your home and heart for an adoptee, now seems to be the time. So many needing a home….
