Editor,
This Christmas I had to take in a puppy that was dumped because the Shelter and Life Savers were full. I felt like the neighbor of the Bumpusses on “The Christmas Story” because so many dogs were on my porch for this Christmas.
God gave us dominion over all things, but with that came instructions. Read Exodus 23, “Moses and David where great shepherds and cared for God’s animals.”
I am asking people to be more caring and responsible to the animals God gave you; they are at our mercy. Getting an animal spayed or neutered is much cheaper than vet bills and dog food for 10 years. This county is full of homeless animals. Visit Life Savers (www.lsar.org) and our wonderful Shelter, 883-5312, (www.montanapets.org/mvas/index.html), before you buy a dog. Most full breed dogs now are so over-bred they are dying at 5 years old of cancers and other diseases. I know, because I lost two that way. So this year give a homeless animal a home and be better shepherds of what you do have.
