Today my blog is about a sad subject instead of my normal ultra positive vibe. But it is something I am compelled to write about, particularly as someone who loves dogs.
As we went into lockdown 2 years ago a lot of people purchased puppies for company rhroughout the isolation of lockdown. It meant that dog breeders could charge thousands of πΈ dollars for their puppies, and there were lots of people willing to pay that largely people bought them for company, as a toy to stave off the loneliness of lockdown.
My fear at that time was that when we came out of lockdown that some people would get bored of their lockdown puppies πΆ and that we would end up with a glut of dogs in shelters, hoping to become someone’s rescue dog. I am sad to say that THIS HAPPENED and shelters are now overrun with dogs of about 18 months old. Do the maths. Some very selfish people bought dogs during lockdown and now no longer want them. This makes my blood boil on so many levels.
When you purchase a dog, it is FOR LIFE NOT UNTIL YOU GET BORED and no longer want the responsibility of pet ownership.
I hope these dogs π in shelters find loving FOREVER homes and we don’t end up with thousand’s of dogs put down.
I pray that if you are a loving, caring person who loves π dogs you will consider getting a rescue dog π. They truly are our best friends and give so much love and joy. God must be looking down on us in tears at the plight of these innocent creatures.
Dogs teach us about love. Is this something you want to learn or experience for yourself. From the bottom of my heart and Lily’s I hope so.
Just read your blog. As a dog lover myself I absolutely agree with everything you have written. It breaks my heart to think of all the dogs in the shelters who wonβt get a loving home and are put to sleep. I pray that it will touch the heart strings of your readers and they give a dog a home. Dogs are Great company. I wouldnβt be without mine.πππ©πΆπ
