The Shelter Shack

The dogs got themselves into trouble, and Mother managed to catch the whole thing via a webcam. Over the course of several weeks she would come home to find things destroyed. Things the dogs would ordinarily never touch, all of a sudden were on the floor and chewed up (books, papers, boxes, etc). She knew Charm (the foster dog) wasn’t the culprit because he is crated during the day, but she wasn’t sure if she should blame Duke or Daisy for the mess. She decided to implement operation “Catch a Bad Dog”. She set up her webcam and hit record, and this video is the result. She was quite surprised on the guilty party (be sure to watch through to the end). Enjoy!

The Shelter Shack wishes everyone a Happy, Healthy and Prosporous New Year! Have you made your New Year’s Resolutions yet? Mine is to continue to try and save as many shelter aminals as I can.

I’m only one person, but one person can make a difference! The animal shelters are always full, and they try very hard to place every animal into a home. It is not an easy task, as there are more pets looking for homes than there are people willing to take them in.

We as individuals can help make a difference in the lives of these animals. If you are not in a position to adopt, consider volunteering. Just a small amount of your time can make a huge impact in the lives of the animals.

Take a look at the video below and see the impact that one individual can have. Just a word of caution, you might want to have some Kleenex handy. As this new year begins, I hope you will join me in becoming the one person that helps make a difference! Cheers!
