Give a Dog A Home Calls to Animal Shelters, Part 2May 18, 2003 11:13 p.m. Sunday Continued from previous entry If you want one of our perfectly trained, housebroken, kid and cat friendly purebred tiny dogs ... Press 19 If you want us to take your dog that has a slight aggression problem, i.e. has only bitten a few people and killed your neighbor's cats... Press 20 If you have already called once and been told we don't take personal surrenders but thought you would get a different person this time with a different answer... Press 21 If you want us to use space that would go to a stray to board your personal dog while you are on vacation, free of charge, of course... Press 22 If it is Christmas Eve or Easter morning and you want me to deliver an eight week old puppy to your house by 6:30 am before your kids wake up... Press 23 If you have bought your children a duckling, chick or baby bunny for Easter and it is now Christmas and no longer cute... Press 24 If you want us to take your female dog who has already had ten litters, but we can't spay her because she is pregnant again and it is against your religion... Press 25 If you want to return a dog you adopted as a puppy a year ago and threw out in the back yard because it has no manners, jumps on the kids, and scratches the door to come in ... Press 26 If your cat is biting and not using the litter box because it is de-clawed, but are not willing to accept the responsibility that the cat's behavior is altered because of your nice furniture... Press 27 If your two year old male dog is marking all over your house but you just haven't gotten around to having him neutered... Press 28 If you want to "donate" your 12 four month old Chow X Lab Mix puppies that your female dog had because you never got around to spaying her and didn't want to spend the money on an ad in the paper... Press 29 If you have done "everything" to housebreak your dog and have had no success but you don't want to crate the dog because it is cruel... Press 30 If you didn't listen to the message asking for an evening phone number and you left your work number when all volunteers are also working and you are angry because no one called you back... Press 31 If you need a puppy immediately and cannot wait because today is your daughter's birthday and you forgot when she was born... Press 32 If your dog's coat doesn't match your new furniture and you need a different color or breed... Press 33 If your new love doesn't like your dog and you are too stupid to get rid of the new friend (who will dump you in the next month anyway) instead of the dog... Press 34 If you went through all these 'presses' and didn't hear enough.
This press will connect you to the sounds of tears being shed by one of
our volunteers who is holding a discarded old dog while the vet mercifully frees him from of the grief of missing his family... Press 35
