Heartbreaking Story of 22 Dogs in a Car
The recent story from Grayson County, Texas of a woman living in her station wagon with 22 dogs is another example of how dogs are suffering because of the troubled economy.
The Papillions and Chihuahuas were placed in the custody of the Texas ASPCA by a Judge’s order. The healthy dogs will be put up for adoption.
The woman, who’s name was not released was homeless and had no where else to go.
I can’t imagine how difficult it must have been for both the woman and these 22 dogs. I also can’t imagine why the woman did not willingly turn the dogs over to a shelter or seek out homes, but because I don’t know the full circumstances it would be wrong for me to judge her.
I would like to encourage anyone that finds themselves in circumstances that makes it impossible to provide the basic necessities to their pets, to willingly give them up. I know it’s hard to give up a beloved dog, but their well-being should take precedence.
Every dog deserves, love, shelter, food and a dog bone now and then.
