In 1922,…

Imagine having to scrape up millions of dead cats and dogs off the road because the population of strays have gone out of control. Imagine having to explain to your child why that dog on the side of the road doesn’t have a home. This is something no one wants to see or do, which is why animal shelters and humane societies are so important to this country.
