Illustration Friday: Frozen

Peggy, the small pit bull mix was frozen in fear as she waited for the mean caretaker at the no-kill shelter to decide whether she had the right to live or die.

Unfortunately this is a real dog at my local NO-KILL shelter. The man in charge of the dogs is a male chauvinist who cares very little for the dogs and the President of the shelter does nothing but stand by this idiot. I have been absolutely horrified and devastated by the actions of this shelter; or should I say the non-actions with regard to the dogs in their care.

Animal Shelter Dog Days: The Sweetie Dog

This is one of my favorite dogs at the shelter...She must be a pitbull or a mix...she is a very sweet, very young little girl and, unfortunately, has already been bred.

Shelter Cats: Mookie

This is Mookie, resident fattie weighing in at a hefty 22 lbs....He's not only a sweetie, but loves to hide in tunnels and obviously loves a good meal.

Illustration Friday: Infinite

I've noticed the infinite amount of shelter animals makes me sad.
