Well Sheila...... While I am not behind all being spayed and neutered. I have to agree that it is ONE of the many problems....... Careless PET = owners who are either irresponsible and LET their dog have litters, OR = accidents can and DO happen. I'm sure we have all had a visit from a male = wandering around looking for your girl in heat, and they will find her. The case this week with Senator Williams. IF he had his PET GSD spayed = there would be 8 less puppies looking for homes. If it wasn't for Dawn and ALL = her helpers networking and working day and night for theses dogs they would = have been thrown in the Gas dumpster. Yes she should have been spayed.=20 JMHO Linda DeLarso Narvon, Pa.
