Animal Shelter Closing in June - Dogs WILL Be Euthanized!

A shelter in Marion, IN will be closing it's doors on or around the end of June. Any animals remaining at the shelter on the day they close, will be euthanized. This is an absolute tragedy and we should not stand for it.

I am encouraging all my readers to look at this link (also located at the bottom of this post), check out the biographies of the pets available there. Maybe you know someone who has been looking for the right dog - this is the perfect opportunity!!

There are many different breeds and ages still waiting to be adopted. Knowing about this, and seeing the faces of the puppies and dogs that will be euthanized makes this incredibly hard to just stand by. I am really hoping for the best with this. I would absolutely love it if all the animals were adopted and the shelter was completely empty on the day it closes. That would be perfect. Let's try to work together and get these dogs a home!

I know lots of you out there are dog people, and if even a handful of you adopted one of the dogs it would make a huge difference. One dog's life can be saved by you visiting their shelter and adopting one of the amazing animals they have. Once you see the pictures and look in their eyes - it is hard to just sit back and do nothing. I know each of the animals I saw on the site has about a month and a half left to live unless we change that.

Please pass this post on to whoever you can think of - together we can make sure all the dogs find a good home and none are put to sleep. It seems odd that closing a shelter would mean euthanizing all the animals - but if all area shelters and pounds are full, what choice do they have? I know the volunteers at the Marion Grant Humane Society are contacting breed rescue groups to find placement for some of the animals, but their time is running out. Let's help them out.
