original_response: I'm really glad they don't call them pounds any more - we've adopted all of our dogs from a shelter or a rescue.  I'll never buy another animal
history: I am so grateful for animal shelters - the no-kill ones. Those poor wee creatures - how could anyone abandon them?! I see, in animal shelters surrendered or abandoned animals and even wounded or sick wildlife can be rehabilitaded Amazing, please tell me more Sure, there are shelters that have tropical animals That is so wonderful. My neighbors just adopted an adorable dog from our place. She seems to be a lab-Dalmatian mix. Yeah. Have you heard of a Animal protection Act from georgia? it came out in 1986 Good for Georgia. I wish North Carolina would do the same. Anyone caught abusing an animal should go to jail, imho. Now I want to go to the shelter!
knowledge: The word ''pound'' had its origins in the animal pounds of agricultural communities, where stray livestock would be penned or impounded until claimed by their owners.
