Do you pick stray animals that you encounter?

I do pick stray cats and stray dogs. My heart breaks when I see an abandoned and maltreated animal. I hate people who get pets and when the animal became too big or is no longer cute abandons it. Animals like people have feelings. They are capable of giving unconditional love.

I'm very bad or (good) at picking up strays, especially in the winter time. I hate to be driving down the street and seeing a dog wandering around cold and hungry. I've picked many up taken them home and cared for them until I could find them good homes. Three of them I picked up in the winter time are still with me :p Don't get me wrong winter, or summer it is terrible to dump of any animal. I love dogs wish I was rich I'd have my own animal shelter!

That is my dream too. I also want to have an animal shelter where these lovely animals can spend the rest of their days. I do hate it really when people just dump their pets somewhere.

I live in the country so I tend to come across lots of strays. I will take them in and feed them. I will check the paper to see if anyone has reported them missing but thats not usually the case. I hate it when people think that they can just drop off their animals when they don't want them anymore.

Yeah. I hate people who treat animals like things and just tend to abandon them if the animal doesn't suit their lifestyles anymore.

It's good that you are a responsible pet owner. I hope you never get tired of them. Animals like people also need TLC.

Smetimes i do. I dnt keep them though. There is a lady who helps find them home and gets them proper vet care. So if i do happen to pick one up, ill bring it to her so that i know its well taken care of. I have a bunch of animals as it is, and i really cant take on any more... though i have to force myself to remember that...

I have always believed that animals are angels without wings. :) Thank you for saving abandoned animals.
