Hey Dad. What’s going on??

A woman stood on a street corner trying to get rid of the 3 remaining puppies from a litter of 9. The dad is a poodle mix, the mom a pit bull mix and this was her second litter. Unfortunately, many people in Louisiana don't spay or neuter their pets, claiming it is "unnatural."

Thinking she was giving the puppies away, I stopped to tell her about Baton Rouge’s Companion Animal Alliance, which accepts all animals and works toward becoming a no-kill shelter. But she was selling the puppies for $35 each. While I talked with her, two other cars stopped and one family bought a puppy.

Hope these pups find a good home, but I worry about them.

As you say, if people would just neuter their pets, they wouldn’t have to worry about finding homes for 9 pups.

Hope people aren't buying puppies on a whim and then dumpling them when they get tired of them

@carolmw That is what worried me. If she had taken them to the shelter, they would have been checked by a vet, given shots, spayed or neutered, and potential adopters would have been screened.
