I was talking to a lady the other day who volunteers at one of the rescue sites in my area. She was telling me that because of the economy, people aren't able to feed their dogs and are making hard decisions and unloading their dogs anywhere they think someone will take and feed them. One place they are doing this is at the dog parks, they open the gates drop them off then leave. She told me they are just overwhelmed and had to put down some dogs for the first time, ever. She said they were very sick and had no place to keep them. Sad day in our countries history. I am struggling and being a veteran I am pretty pissed off. I am a foreman and am being hurt big time by the illegal's, I work about 40 hours in a month. I also know 7 carpenters who have lost their houses. They all lost their jobs to illegal's. Illegal's work for what they are calling "training wages or piece work", which is usually below min wage. Anyway, this lady said they are in the panic mode because they are getting twice as many dogs in, as are being adopted. She told me she cries all the time. Sad day.....
