all dogs go to heaven...?

i was perusing through craigslist today and i always like to go to the pet forums to see what cute and cuddly friends are up for adoption and whatnot. i've always liked animals since i was little but ever since i got tofu, i've become a huge dog lover. it's really sad to look at craigslist sometimes because there are so many pet owners who can no longer take care of their pets because of relocating or not being home enough for them. i wish i could adopt a few of them but my parents would have a cow -_-; but maybe i'll just bring one home to melt their hearts..heehee

one post in particular hit home for me

a volunteer at a shelter in jersey city was reaching out for volunteers to take the dogs on walks. sadly a few of the dogs there are up for euthanasia because they haven't been adopted and have overstayed their welcome at the shelter. supposedly if enough people volunteer to walk the dogs, it will help prevent them from being put down. i think tomorrow i will call them up to see if i can volunteer. it's heart breaking to think of these dogs, many of them coming from abusive owners or just being thrown into the shelter. alot of them are looked over because of old age or too much energy. hopefully we can lend a helping hand to our furry-pawed friends.
