dear CHRISTINE by Lee M. at InsiderPages
This is a shelter.. its not a pet store.. animals that are there went through abuse, neglect, starvation, and god knows what else. To expect them to be healthy is idiotic, sorry. I am an ASPCA and PETA member and I only adopt and would never by. By walking into a shelter to find a pet, you should be prepared for anything. That is the beauty of those who adopt. They have the conscience to know that the pet might turn out to be a sick pet, yet the heart to still take him in and care for him.
that's the whole point.
