Dogs should not be sent to the pound because 1. They are free living animals
2. They shouldn't have to be behind
bars for doing nothing!
3. They could get kennel cough.
it depends on which pound you are talking about... some pounds arent crowded so they dont need to kill any dogs at all but some are overcrowded and have to put them to sleep
Thousands of dogs are killed everyday in dog fights.
There are dogs that weigh in a 1 pound. These are typically referred to as teacup Chihuahuas and are the runt of the litter.
because if it is pregnant and it has the puppies at the pound they will not have room for other dogs
dogs should get impounded instead of getting killed.
By adopting them!
