@thedogist: Sky, the adoptable Chihuahua & Whitney, founder of @Hearts and Bones Rescue, at @DallasAnimalServices, Dallas, TX • “Sky is a blind Chihuahua that was surrendered to the shelter. The owner surrender notes said he didn’t fit with the lifestyle, and she’s moving to a new apartment that doesn’t allow dogs. It’s very unfortunate, but he’s going to have a better life going forward. We try not to be judgmental with owner surrenders, but we also have empathy for the dogs, who are unfortunately the victims. We’re assessing him as a potential @heartsandbonesrescue dog – the characteristics we’re looking for are a dog-friendly dog, a human-friendly dog, a more relaxed and calm dog that would do well in the Northeast. One of the common misconceptions about shelters is that every dog in a shelter is a Pit Bull or is a major behavioral issue. You can find purebreds in shelters all day, every day. You can find any shape, any size, any age. People just don’t come, so they don’t know.” We've reached $10k of our $15k goal! Thank you to everyone for supporting so far – only $5k left to go! Hearts & Bones Rescue is a small non-profit founded in 2017 that has rescued more than 5,000 dogs from overpopulated shelters in the Dallas, TX area. Each of those dogs were at risk of euthanasia, so their work truly is life-saving. If you’re able to help further their mission with a donation, please do so today!

Trying to adopt a dog from a shelter here in the UK is ridiculous. I’ve applied so many times and haven’t been lucky. I’m financially stable,

I unfortunately had to rehome my dog because no place to rent in my town allows dogs. I miss her everyday and regret it so much
