March 30, 2006 Washington County, Va Animal Shelter
Today's picture features one of the beautiful dogs available for adoption at the
Washington County C.C. Porter Animal Shelter near
Abingdon, Virginia. They
almost always have several beautiful and friendly dogs and cats just waiting for
someone to fall in love with them and offer them a loving home.
The Washington County Sheriffs Department and its Animal Control officers do a
wonderful job taking care of the animals, but the task is huge and many of the
animals will unfortunately end up having to be euthanized. The
Animal Defense League of
Washington County is very active in finding good homes for a large number of
the animals, but they need our help.
How can I help, you ask? Well, there are a couple of ways you can help rescue
more of these beautiful animals:
First of all, don't go to a pet store and buy your next pet for hundreds
of dollars. Instead, stop by the Washington County C.C. Porter Animal Shelter at
27252 Porter Lane and adopt one! If you're like me, you simply won't be
able to walk away without falling in love with one of the friendly dogs and cats
you'll find there. Why pay big bucks for a pet when you can get one just as
beautiful and friendly for next to nothing - and save it from having to be
euthanized to boot? It's truly a win-win situation!
The second way you can help is to volunteer your time and/or make a cash
donation to the Washington County Animal Defense League. For more information on
becoming a volunteer or purchasing a membership,

Our next pet will come from the animal shelter and I hope yours will too. Open
your heart and home to one of these beautiful animals and you'll probably get
back more love than you give!
Note: If you don't live in or near the Washington County, Virginia area
you're not out of luck! Virtually every part of the country has animal shelters.
All you have to do is find out where yours is located and pay them a visit!
