I love dogs and that is why I visit animal shelters.
In 1984, nearly 20 million shelter animals were killed each year. Do you feel that the situation has improved?
I believe things are getting better for animal shelters since they are receiving donations all of the time.
At present, an estimated 2.4 million are killed each year, so the numbers are so much better than they used to be.
Hopefully the numbers go down more than that.
Considering where they were, it's definitely a good situation. Are you familiar with Posh Pets? They help match rescue animals with new families.
I try to encourage more people to adopt animals from shelters, not breeders.
Many people prefer purebred dogs, however. Furthermore, it is largely a myth that mixed breeds have better health.
