we live out in the country and a month does not go by where we find animals let off-or tied to a tree and left to die i think we should do the same to these people

I really appreciate seeing your gone but not forgotten pictures. It's very sad but a fitting memorial to those poor dogs who died just because THERE WERE TOO MANY. I hope people who don't spay/neuter their pets and those who just dump them when they are tired of them realize that so many don't make it and take a good look at these sweet faces who deserved so much more. Having faces to see makes it so much more real and personal.

This breaks my heart. I am a volunteer a a local animal shelter. The work is the most rewarding thing I've done. The staff and the animal appreciate our time and effort. I have answered phones, cleaned kennels, donated toys, towels, treats, various supplies, helped with fund raisers and mobile adoptions, walked dogs, washed laundry. I have had to talk with irresponsibe pet owners, want to dump their animals these people are unbelievable!!!! I have talked to some that have no choice but to surrender their pets it's heart wrenching we are their last option. But a shelter is better then the animal left to fend for itself. Some of the animals by the time they brought to the shelter are so sick it my never make it up for adoption. Help your local animal shelter. Spay and neuter your pets!! Think before you buy they are a life time commitment!!! DO NOT SUPPORT YOUR BACK YARD BREADERS AND PUPPY MILLS!!!!!!

I am 27 years old and have had nothing but stray or shelter dogs my entire life. Every one of them was the best dog anyone could hope for and I know that they were thankful for having been giving another chance in life. If you have ever considered adopting a dog or cat from a shelter, do it today. Make sure it is the right dog for you, but don't hesitate too long. The animal you save will know you have saved it and you will see its gratitude in its eyes every day. and PLEASE encourage your friends to spay/neuter their animals to reduce the need for all this killing of God's innocent creatures.

I have rescued 50 large breed dogs in the last 3 years and have found homes for all of them.Unfortunately , we cannot save all of them but we are gonna keep trying. I only wish Breeders would be more responsible and watch whom they sell their pups to. Large Breed dogs (Rotties, Dobes, Shepherds) are truly unique dogs with personalities that most people cannot comprehend because of their size.Please go to your local shelters and don't just walk past them just because they are barking at you,try bringing one out of the cage and spending time with it and you may just find the greatest dog in the world to cherish forever.

Your pictures bring tears every time I look at them. As a person who has worked in rescue in Canada, I feel such frustration with the stupidity and inhumanity of humans in their behaviour with these animals. Your gallery is extremely well done and perhaps it will save an animal or, better yet, prevent one from being born. Every soul should be wanted and loved, never thrown away like this.

Of the two dogs and two cats I own, three are "throw aways". We kill (not put asleep) 60 million dogs and cats a year in this country. Animals have rights too. No animal should have to be "thrown away". There I go off on a tangent again. What a wonderful memorial. It's nice to know there's another kindred spirit out there that realizes all life is precious. I'm sure those animals are in "heaven&quot ; sooner then many of the two legged ones.

EVERY PTS animal should have a memorial - People need to know that NOT spaying or buying irresponsibly costs lives. Pets are NOT shoes you can throw away when you are tired of them. Thank you SO much for what you do. I am thinking LA might need to do this...though the good thing is LA just came up with a free Spaymobile and tougher licensing laws. It is still a DROP in the bucket though and makes me teary-eyed.

arghhhhhhhhhh such a shame its such a short time that the shelter gives them. what is the name of the shelter?

said lisa 2002.05.31 at 17:26:45 PDT

Your memorial page is outstanding. There really are no words. You should consider having poster made of these sweet animals with a caption under each picture, INCLUDING their PTS dates....just as you have them on the site. Would the shelter let you put them up? (Maybe have to add something that doesn't make the shelter look like the "bad guys". Anyway, you did a great job.....very poignant. Gail

I HOPE THESE DOGS GET BETTER AND THEY DONT DIE BUT KEEP WORKING AT IT MAYBE SOMEBODY WILL COME AND GET SOME OF THEN

Dear God, Bless your sweet souls. Miss Cox, I know there is a very special place for you in heaven. Thank-you for all you do

I was taken by surprise to see this section. As sad as it is to see the realities of overpopulation (it is much easier to deny if there are no photos as otherwise this goes unnoticed). I think these dogs deserve to be acknowledged and I think it is important that you created this section. This is also educational.
