My mother couldn't stand the thought of an animal going to a shelter where she knew it would be put to sleep. So, our place always had the occasional stray dogs and cats. We even had a turtle some geese and birds that had been injured. Once the wilder ones were healthy enough to leave they'd be let go but the more domesticated animals usually found a home with us unless they were found by their families.
That tradition of saving animals from the shelter, continues today with me and my husband. We have 4 dogs. One was a gift but our other 3 had been shelter animals or were bound for the shelter. We couldn't be happier and I'm very proud of my mother for caring so much for all animals.
