We got Zoe about 3 years ago now from a local shelter. She was a rescued dog from Louisiana. They called her a second generation hurricane Katrine dog. Basically after the hurricane there were so many dogs running around loose that they ended up having puppies and than those puppies would be living on the street. Eventually the local shelters would pick them up.
As you may know I live in Canada and by this point you are probably wondering why the F I have a dog from Louisiana… In parts of the United States they still have what are called “kill shelters.” Were dogs, cats any type of animal will be put down if they are not adopted out in a certain period of time.
A local millionaire here in Canada pays all expresses to have dogs and cats shipped up here to Canada to where we do not have “kill shelters”. Those dogs and cats are given ALL shots (a requirement for them to be allowed into the county) and are fed and housed here until they are adopted - again all expenses being covered by this local Millionaire.
Here is picture of Zoe just after we got her – She was 6 months old and had never had a home:
And now she is right beside me while I write this post!
O and one more thing – just to show there are some truly good people on this planet – he does it all unanimously!
