You or anyone you know is looking for a dog and/or cat PLEASE take a look at these shelters first. A lot of them will be euthanized without the help of someone like you. Please before you considering going to a breeder for a puppy just look into the eyes of any of these loving, innocent animals. All they need is some love.
Thank you for looking!!!
I’ve listed the shelter’s that use gas chambers first because those animals are getting a horrible death sentence!!
