And a shelter puppy is a perfect birthday gift for you!
A little doggie whispered in my ear that Oprah is considering adopting another dog. All the Busy Dogs are wagging with excitement over the news. They are also concerned about the plight of so many good dogs in need of a home. We all hope that Oprah chooses her next canine companion, be it a puppy or a more mature dog, from a deserving shelter. She has featured puppy mills and rescue organizations on her show many times and this would give much needed attention to the thousands of dogs who are waiting to be loved.
Oprah, please don’t just go back to PAWS in Chicago and find another Sadie. . . showcase stories of how seemingly hopeless dogs have been rehabilitated and bond successfully with their new families. Talk about all the great mixed breeds that are just as smart and wonderful as the pure breeds, and are waiting for a chance to have a home. Use your great power to convince people to consider adopting a dog from a reputable shelter so that the no-kill shelters don’t have to turn any away.
With the crisis in Haiti and the housing crisis in our own country, there is a HUGE need for people to not only to open their wallets, but their hearts as well, to the plight of so many dogs in need.
We applaud Oprah for all of her past efforts in bringing attention to pet adoptions and support of shelters.
Oprah, here’s a suggestion….. adopt a rescue dog… name it TomCruise (you can call it Cruiser for short)….and then let it jump on your couch till its heart’s content!
Does anyone have any other suggestions?
