This little girl is dear to me. She has been at the Greenville Humane Society way too long. Daisy. Please watch video of her above.
We first featured Daisy on October 13th. (I mispoke in the video) To my amazement, she is still there! We can’t make the Greenville Humane Society her home. Please, if you are considering a dog for your family, please consider Daisy. She does need love and care and someone to teach her things, but that doesn’t mean she isn’t a good dog for your home. You can adopt Daisy for just $19.50!
Also, to help ease the cost of taking care of your pets, the Greenville Humane Society will be offering 25% off spay/neuter surgeries until the end of the year. Below are some myths/facts about spaying and neuturing:
Do you have the facts straight when it comes to spaying and neutering your pet? Find out which commonly held perceptions are mere myths.
MYTH: It’s better to have one litter first.
FACT: Medical evidence indicates just the opposite. In fact, the evidence shows that females spayed before their first heat are typically healthier. Many veterinarians now sterilize dogs and cats as young as eight weeks of age. Check with your veterinarian about the appropriate time for these procedures.
MYTH: My children should experience the miracle of birth.
FACT: Even if children are able to see a pet give birth - which is unlikely, since it usually occurs at night and in seclusion - the lesson they will really learn is that animals can be created and discarded as it suits adults. Instead, it should be explained to children that the real miracle is life and that preventing the birth of some pets can save the lives of others.
MYTH: But my pet is a purebred.
FACT: So is at least one out of every four pets brought to animal shelters around the country. There are just too many dogs and cats-mixed breed and purebred.
MYTH: But my animal is so special, I want another just like her.
FACT: A dog or cat may be a great pet, but that doesn’t mean her offspring will be a carbon copy. Professional animal breeders who follow generations of bloodlines can’t guarantee they will get just what they want out of a particular litter. A pet owner’s chances are even slimmer. In fact, an entire litter of puppies or kittens might receive all of a pet’s (and her mate’s) worst characteristics.
MYTH: It’s too expensive to have my pet spayed or neutered.
FACT: The cost of spaying or neutering depends on a number of variables. But whatever the actual price, spay or neuter surgery is a one-time cost - a relatively small cost when compared to all the benefits. It’s a bargain compared to the cost of having a litter and ensuring the health of the mother and litter; two months of pregnancy and another two months until the litter is weaned can add up to significant veterinary bills and food costs if complications develop. Most importantly, it’s a very small price to pay for the health of your pet and the prevention of the births of more unwanted pets.
MYTH: I’ll find good homes for all the puppies and kittens.
FACT: You may find homes for all of your pet’s litter. But each home you find means one less home for the dogs and cats in shelters who need good homes. Also, in less than one year’s time, each of your pet’s offspring may have his or her own litter, adding even more animals to the population. The problem of pet overpopulation is created and perpetuated one litter at a time.
The above facts and myths were taken from The Humane Society of the United States website. For more information on this topic please visit www.hsus.org.

Tomorrow night, the 42nd Annual CMA Awards show will broadcast live on ABC (8p-11p) from Sommett Center in Nashville, TN. Your hosts will be Brad Paisley and Carrie Underwood.
I was looking back at all my Greenville Humane Society video blogs the other day. Man alive, there are some days I was looking good… and then there were others! No wonder the puppy’s were scared!
