Hey Anna
Thank you for your valuable comment and opinion on this topic.
That is great that the shelters in the UK try to match the potential owner and the dog, maybe here too but I didn't ask. At the moment I can not offer a dog or a cat a happy life with me. Maybe one day if I will live in a bit slower tempo haha. Let's say slow down from prestissimo to allegro at least :)
So your Holly is also a rescue dog, nice! Yes, I imagine it takes a lot of time and patience, and love. They are scared, and if abused then even more.
Also, you are right that it is an important topic and no place should ignore it if there is an issue. I have seen with my eyes places where there are no funds for this issue and stray dogs live on the streets, that just one local dr and her mom try to take care of them from sure death. The city doesn't take responsibility. Sometimes those dogs gather and make a herd and even they can attack. But they are not to blame for that, but the ex-owners and town counsellors. Luckily, in Spain, I don't see these cases as I suppose this rescue and finding a home for them works a bit better :))
Ha ha, love the musical reference there!
That would be lovely, you getting a cat or a dog, but, as you say, might be bit of a tough one for you with all going on..
But we all know you'd be a great cat or dog Mum when the day comes! :)
Totally agree that the animals can rarely be blamed, they just try to get by, and they are usually the last ones society thinks of, although, I'd like to think there is some change in sentiment, as esp cats and dogs, and more and more others too, are considered family, which is lovely.
Thanks, I hope I will 😇
Well, I was always a cat or dog (and both at the same time) mom, but the circumstances changed 😅
I suppose, I can guess, what those circumstances were/are.. 😅
It was moving and living in a rented flat. ;)
Not what I thought then.. ah, well... lol
hmmmm, should I ask what did you mean hahaha?
well, now you know the reason :)
Haha, no, it's fine.. lol
