Like people some dogs get really good breaks while other dogs just seem to have bad luck. Fate vs. free will are two of my favorite topics of conversation when it comes to bad things happening to good people and good things happening to bad people. But whom am I to judge anyone or what happens in their life? There are 2 sides to every story. It is interesting to contemplate why things happen as they do. But not too often!

When it comes to fate for dogs, the fate vs. free will just holds no water. I don't know what cosmic fate or great good fortune brought the dogs that were on the National Geographic special to Best Friend's Dog town to be rehabilitated. Read more about the dogs and the Program that aired this week on The National Geographic Channel.http://www.bestfriends.org/

Pomeroy Ohio is adjacent to Mason County West Virginia.
"This dog or pup is here through no fault of its own. Dogs with bad temperaments are not put up for adoption. Unfortunately, too few people spay and neuter their dogs. This pup came into this world wishing for warmth, love and care, food, water and exercise -- the things every dog deserves to have. Sadly, for whatever reason, the human in this dog's life was unable to give it those things so it ended up here among the hundreds or thousands who face death just because there are not enough homes for them all. This pound fills up fast and dogs are euthanized on a regular basis so please call 740-992-3779 and leave a message if you are interested in this dog or pup. Also, plan to pick the dog up or have someone pick it up for you ASAP. The hours you are most likely to reach someone are 8:30 AM to 11:00 AM Mon-Sat but you can leave a message if you are interested in a dog. Also, staff is rescue friendly and will try to meet you at other hours if they can." from the website

Contact the pound directly (TOM) or rescue coordinator (JESSICA),
who may be reached at jrosler04@yahoo. com

This shelter needs help to keep the animals healthy and vetted before rescue, so they can be transported.

The shelter workers try to be super
rescue friendly, and are willing to temp foster and do local
transport for serious rescues.
