Today’s Dog News: Help, Sad and Fun Dog Times

An animal shelter in Georgetown, Ohio named the Brown County Animal Shelter has hit the wall with so many dogs that they might have to make the un-wanting decision that we all hate to here because so many people that called themselves animal lovers are dumping their dogs in the streets or at the shelter.

The Brown County Dog Warden named James Massie said: We're trying to give the public and rescues as much time to get these dogs out and find them homes. We don't like putting a dog down period, but if we do we're going to do it right and humanely. Some of the dogs we've had almost two months. We try to hold onto these dogs as long as we can. There's no use for us to put a dog down if it's healthy, non-aggressive, and perfectly adoptable.

So where are all you dog lovers in Ohio the shelter needs your help.

It tore her apart and my boxer had a crushed skull and a broken neck. She was evidently beaten to death.

The Surgarcreek Borough Police Chief Matthew Carlson said: They basically showed no regard for the lives of the dogs, A lot of times someone who does this has no conscience toward the life of a canine.
