Arfanage Animal Rescue

SPCA, Bay of Islands, Rex a old Shelter Dog

The general public needs to be re-educated that you do not use the shelters as a dumping ground for your peeing cat or barking dog that you bought thougtlessly in the first place.”
“Many animals are abandoned not because they have behavior problems, but simply because they have become inconvenient…
Basically, dogs are abandoned or surrendered to shelters because they misbehave. Dogs misbehave (act like dogs), simply because no one taught them how to behave appropriately when living with people,, Some get a second chance, some dont.
Locked up in that cage, day in and day out, without adequate exercise, eating whatever greasy store brand food is available that day, with other dogs barking incessantly, limited human contact, living in it’s own excrement, the list goes on and on.
Could these dogs be rehabilitated if adopted?
More than likely. so is it fair to the dog to allow it to slowly go mad, wasting away in a cage for weeks, months? Jumping up the wall, pacing, running in circles. These are all symptoms that a dog has reached the end of its tolerance for the situation.
A rescue dog from the SPCA Shelter, We’re grateful that he can be a part of our lives, and that he’ll spend his final days safe, happy and well-fed.”
What could be kinder and more caring than offering a loving home to a sweet senior dog so that they can live their golden years in happiness, having a home of their own and being loved and cared for.
*…Saving just one pet won’t change the world …but, surely, the world will change for that one pet…*
We are the voices, and speak, for those who can’t speak for themselves.
