Mutt Strut

Mom convinsed dad about not going today. She said there will be other events we can go to in the near future. She said she would rather support a No Kill shelter.

Mom won't take us this year. She told dad last night, she can't support the IHS until she understands exactly which animal population they are trying to serve. She doesn't understand why they have dogs for "adoption" that cost up to $350. If they turned those dogs over to rescues that space would be open for other dogs that aren't, as my mom says "so fancy", she is afraid the ones that aren't so fancy don't have much of a chance at being adopted if there is no space for them.

So I guess we are jusat going to have our own Mutt Strut on the Monon!

Mom totally agrees with your mom Butch. We also think to have our own Monon Mutt Strut would be so cool.

My mom agrees with the previous posts. No Mutt Strut for us.

My Mutts aren't strutting in protest of their new policies.

We won't be there either. I will not support a "Humane" Society that refuses to take in strays. We are walking in Walking for Dreams instead. Please go to www.walkingfordreams.org for more info.

My mutt can't strut even if she wanted to anymore. I guess I should celebrate the fact that I got a wonderful purebred Basset Hound for $95 back in 2002. Now, chances are they would pass her up so they can get to the little carrier dogs that they can charge $300 for.

I'm thankful that we got a purebread corgi, Hoover, from them back in 1999 for a $75 adoption fee, and Oreo in 2004 for ??, don't remember. The HSI today is not what it used to be.... nope, not going.

Maybe we should try to organize an anti Mutt Strut on the Monon and give out information to all dog walkers (or people hanging just hanging out with their furkids) about the HSI. Not information against HSI, but just flyers that explain the intake procedures and why we belive they are not serving the animal community that the HSI Mission Statement claims to support. It is not my intention to bash them, or say they are wrong, but to inform people of the ways that I believe they are not serving the animal community. It would be a quiet informative protest. What do you think?
