    I do -dogs-the Vet have sources for help(I am a VET as is my DH)-babies parents have sources(Social services/food banks/churches)- the animals are at human's mercy and very few human's have any. Quilt board excepted.

    My charities are animal rescue, (5) and kids (1). I also donate to abused shelter as I have been there and done that. It is not as easy as most think to get out.

    Just my opinion

    I'd adopt one in a heart beat.

    We need more people like you! Fortunately, this is misinformation about the bomb sniffing dogs, but you are easing the lives of a few critters. Thanks.

    If they can rehabilitate pit bull dogs, then there is hope for these dogs.

    I don't in anyway approve of most of the way PETA does things however they do have resources in their hands for media campaigns. I would be tempted to call them.

    I am appaled at this type of treatment of ones so brave and ready to die for a serviceman. I have rescued twenty-one dogs from the roads of Tennessee where people throw them out like you would the trash. I have four of these dogs myself. My daughter has two . The rest I have found homes for. These guys are the most loyal, loving and caring creatures I have even known. A dog's love is so unconditional. Spay and nuter should be the law. I think we as citizens of this great nation need to take a stand.
