Oh, they are all so cute! I couldn't stand helping out at a shelter...I'd want to scoop all of the dogs up with me and take them home. I think every single dog on "death row" would be coming home with me...

Ooh they're all gorgeous!
Jenny is gorgeous, I love her colouring, and all the dogs are sweeties too (especially Romeo with his airplane ears! ). |

I can't believe how nice these animals look!!! You should see the poor things in our local shelter. They look terrible poor things and most are Pit Bulls that usually never get adopted.

There are a lot of pit bulls and a lot of dogs get euthanized but there is a great staff and they try their best to get everyone taken care of and adopted.

He is beautiful! I wonder if he will be there tomorrow when I go back. I almost got him/her but he would have to be neutered and I can't afford that right now. Vets around here charge 3xs more for rabbits to be neutered than cats.
