Shelter animals need foster homes to avoid getting put down

Every day, more and more adoptable animals are getting put down because of overcrowded shelters. Now, a new non-profit is stepping up to adopt the animals out but no one can find foster homes in the meantime and many adoptable pets are still getting put down despite the chance at a new life.

killing of these animals should not be allowed period no matter how full you get!!!! If you kill them, what makes you any better than the next person that killed or abused an animal... Always remember, these souls belong to God just as ours do..Anyone who would do this has a sick, sick, soul!!! I agree get your pets fixed this will put an end to this sick fixation. Don't talk about overcrowding to me because the most overcrowded species is the human population!!!

Manditory spay/neuter on all cats and dogs until the problem with the population is under control. if you want and animal, go to a shelter. no breeders allowed! i know, it would never work...... but seriously, please spay and neuter your pets!!

If I could, I would take them all. Maybe the shelters should ask wal-mart and other stores to use their parking lot for finding those dogs a home. I see puppy millers out there all of the time,makes me sick that people would pay $150 for an inbred dog from some puppy mill. Would be better to see the humane society out there. I can't believe they're having a hard time getting homes for puppies. I got my dog from the pulaski county shelter and she was the only puppy there.
