Mike Vick takes his dog to training class. Noteworthy?
It's nothing more than a publicity stunt; otherwise, why PetSmart? With the money Vick makes, he can easily afford to hire a trainer to come to his home and provide real, one-on-one training. Instead, he chose a very pubic venue. Photo op, period. It makes me sick to see this evil man using dogs--kin to the animals he tortured and murdered--to boost his own popularity.

What's the Public's responsibility in pet homelessness?
I worked at my local animal shelter for 2 years and let me tell you NO ONE wants to euthanize pets. Its no fun at all. Its not a choice its something that had to be done. If we could keep every animal until it could find a loving home we would have. Only a terrible person would choose to do something like that. The problem is that shelters don't have the money or resources to keep every animal for as long as it wou... (continued)

Personally I think the dog needs to take Michael Vick to training classes.

Dog training is, of course, mostly people training. If this training is successful it will be hard to imagine how Vick could look into his dog's big brown eyes - or any dog's big brown eyes - and not feel true remorse for his past actions. Strikes me as a huge step in the right direction. Thank you for reporting on this.

Well written and well said article/commentary Leslie. Thank you. I could not agree with you more - on all counts.

What's the Public's responsibility in pet homelessness?
Too bad Christie Keith is deleting comments off her site, she's the author of the original blog post referred to at the beginning of this article. When someone on her site said Keith was a dog breeder, she took the comment down and now won't post any others. Sad and cowardly if you ask me.

What's the Public's responsibility in pet homelessness?
As a founder of a private rescue group, I too agree and see the problem is the public fault. Noone can tell me making the public responsible for THEIR pet will not make a difference in those left abandoned. I am so tired of the finger pointing. From where I stand it IS a public problem, not the shelters.

Animals are in shelters because of the public, therefore the public is responsible.

What's the Public's responsibility in pet homelessness?
A question I have about taxpayer (i.e. municipal shelter) responsibility for re-homing animals according to the No-Kill Equation: In our state, municipal pounds have very limited budgets (i.e.tax-dollars) that don't begin to provide the services required to provide the long-term care, vetting, rehabilitation, re-homing, public outreach, and customer service that is expected and necessary under the No-Kill Equation....

What's the Public's responsibility in pet homelessness?
I agree with the writer and as someone who works at a private no-kill facility I am sick of blowhards like Nathan Winograd who continue to place all the blame on public shelters when it is the irresponsibility of the public that causes the shelters to be overrun and local rescues overwhelmed with calls regarding surrenders, strays and pleas to pull strays from public facilities when they are not helping to foster o...
