We. Need. YOUR. Help.

Dogs are in serious danger right now.  Dogs WILL be euthanized if they do not get adopted or rescued.  They have NO more room at the shelter.  Seriously, they are busting at the seams right now.

We cannot do this on our own.  We desperately need your help.

How can you help?

You can share their pictures on Facebook.
You can tweet their pictures on Twitter.
You can talk to you friends and family about adopting (maybe they aren't on Facebook).
You can talk to your friends and family about alternatives to surrendering their dogs to a shelter. We would be more than glad to help them find a solution.
You can talk to your friends and family about spaying and neutering their pets.
You can volunteer at our shelter or at your local shelter.
You can foster a dog for the Love on Wheels program.
You can foster a dog for a rescue group or even just a night or two until their adoptive family can pick them up.
You can become an advocate for the animals.
You can change a dog's life.

Please don't be afraid to speak your mind.
Please don't be afraid that you will offend someone.
They need us to be their voice.

God commanded us to take care of our animals.  How are we doing?

Why do we need your help?  Let me introduce you to Patton, the boxer.  He was at the Irving Animal Shelter a couple of months ago.  You might remember him as Rocky Balboa.  My friends, Jim and Suzan, had been looking for a dog.  They looked at several shelters but no dog felt right.  One day, I had shared a couple of pictures of dogs from our shelter on Facebook.  She happened to be on Facebook that morning and saw one of the pictures and just had a feeling.  So she and Jim went up to the shelter that day looking for the dog in one of the pictures I had shared.  However, that particular dog had been adopted, so they looked around at the other dogs in the shelter.  They took Patton out in the yard, Suzan sat down, and Patton came right over and gave her a big hug.  She KNEW it was their dog, and so they adopted him.  I visited their family about a week ago and took pictures.  Patton completes their family.  He is the perfect fit.  And even cooler is that he is learning how to be a therapy dog, working with veterans.  All of this happened because I shared some pictures.

Please help us help the dogs.
