Sad Animal Commercials

[ChickenPeep]

Those commercials make me want to cry.

It's a good way to get people to adopt them though.

My opinion, a good way to get people to adopt is to stop making people jump threw hoops to adopt an also stop charging more to adopt than back yard breeders charge for a puppy.

I'd rather give my donations to help a child in need.

I was surprised how easy and cheap it was to adopt at my local shelter.

they make me cry if I watch them. If I could I would be rescuing dogs myself but we have six dogs now and are able to keep up with their shots, feed, etc. Cannot afford to have anymore so I change the channel myself.

Agree ...should see some of the rules, like if my dog isn't spay can adopt a cat ? my sons dog is a 2 1/2 lbs house dog 9 years old that has never had puppies, or been bred. oh they had her from the time she was 6 weeks old. they tried to adopt a cat


The husky i was going to adopt , that had to be a house dog , only outside 3 hours a day.

yes the fee of 100 + for any dog .

It makes me feel ill how they use injured animals for their own gain under the guise of funds going to the animals...they should have full disclosure in their commercials...
