Many years ago I found that even with the growth of shelters and spay/neuter clinics the killing in shelters and pet bites weren't changing much. Went looking for what makes an impact and found that there is a way, where the community is given control and a little bit in resources, then went about doing it in a town.
The upshot of it was that I learned what an impact a little bit in resources put into that first owner's life can make. People make the same remarks about dog and cat owners as they do about any group getting any sort of government assistance, and forget those lives are impacted by the corps just as much as anyone.
Sometimes the name "bad" or "irresponsible" is deserved, just as some parents and caretakers deserve to not be taking care of kids and go to jail. But that's a relative few, and many, many times more than that can provide better lives for their family, pets, or whomever with a little bit of cooperation.
Thank you for the pic. Lucky dog
