I love dogs. I got one from an Animal Shelter once. I'd like to volunteer there if I had more time. 
I love animal shelters i take my kids their and they love seeing all the animals at the "pound" as they used to call it and  think the new term animal shelter is a euphemism for the word pound!
I think you're right. I've heard it called that before. It would be hard for me to visit often and not come  home with more animals. 
I know, right! I visited a no-kill shelter and since they rarely terminate the animals they were so full, it was hard not to take one home
I've thought about fostering an animal before, but I would probably fail and end up adopting it anyway haha. 
I have thought about that too, but I've heard a lot of the animals are sick or are foster animals for a reason. I would prefer to adopt from a no kill shelter since 90% of the animals are expected to be saved from them
That's really great that they save so many of them! They must work hard to find all of them homes. 
They use a ton of different strategies to find them homes and help promote animal shelters to them, by using volunteers and try to work to lower the number of animals entering the shelter system
Maybe I'll have to look into volunteering after all. I'll just have to have a lot of self restraint haha.

In an interview, Donaldson said of the animal rights complaints:
What are we going to do about the coyotes, that are eating the lambs like there's no tomorrow? They're eating so many lambs, I thought the other day I'd put out some mint jelly, in case they want it with their mutton. Every time I say this, the conservationists and the people who love animals just jump
