The truth about cats and dogsOver in Pennsauken — which apparently does have life outside the Pennsauken Auto-Mart (Who knew?) — there’s an animal shelter that must have 90 animals adopted by the end of the year. (It’s because the facility must be renovated due to criminal and administrative charges brought against it, but that kind of ruins the story, so let’s just move on.) Anywho, there’s a really cute kitty photo at the start of the story, and there’s also an online gallery of some of the doggies that need to be adopted. Naturally I clicked through, only to be disappointed at photo after photo of ugly, ugly dogs. (Maybe you like Terrier/Bulldog mixes. Maybe you are an idiot.) I’m sure they’re all nice and loving slobbery dogs, and I hope they get adopted, but come on — where are the beagles, the cavaliers, the golden retrievers and the mutts that are actually cute! (They exist. I’ve seen them before.) Anyway, there was one really intriguing photo that I’ll reproduce here:

I got my dog at that shelter and I think they try really hard to place their animals. When I got him, their requirements for adoption weren’t particularly stringent. I paid my $35 and I had a dog. No vets checks or any of that stuff. I wish I could afford another animal, stories like this make me sad.
