OMG. WANT .
Occasionally I read news stories about the latest animal ordinance on the docket here in Indy. Which reminds me that one day, I want a dog. I mosey on over to Petfinder… and I’m a lost cause. But it’s even worse now. The Humane Society of Indianapolis has a YouTube channel.
You can find lots of animal shelters going after suckers like me with this approach. The ASPCA, the Arizona Humane Society … with digital video cameras available cheap, it’s a great resource for adoptions, and it’s a heckuva lot easier than sending a staff member and a kitten out to the local TV station for a bit on the noon newscast.
However, most of the clips seem a few months old, so it isn’t a regularly used feature. Given the high turnover of animal intake and adoption at some shelters, that’s OK. Video could be limited to pets that have been at the shelter for a long time and are most in need of a forever home.
And just to go completely overboard, here is a link to more than 5 minutes of clips of adoptable puppies that appeared on a Florida TV station in the 90s.
I was gonna get me a running dog when I got into my new apartment. But then, I started dating a girl w/ two dogs, so I have been learning about dogs that way.
It’s fun. Easter I went w/ the doggies for a long walk while she was at work. I’m getting real close to them and love them. Maybe I’ll get myself one, or maybe I’ll just steal hers. haha.
