I rescued this little guy on highway 149 last Tuesday. When I found him he was starving, dirty, and beaten. I brought him home and the kids instantly started calling him "Burritto". A silly name for a dog, but he took right to it. When josh got home, we bathed him and fed him and gave him a comfy doggie bed to sleep in. I had every intention of taking him to the humane society in town the next day. Ive come to find our HS is closing down and euthanizing dogs. I couldnt take him to the pound, there is a 3 day hold and then they also put them down. Im so frustrated at the situation. I have 3 rescue dogs already. I cant help it, I have a big heart when it comes to strays. Hubby has warned me about bringing anymore home, but I really just dont know what to do. If I see an animal in need, Im going to help. But with no support system in the county we live in, its rough. My poor sister in law is fostering dogs left and right..... her backyard is one giant kennel. 300 dogs a week are being euthanized in our area, that is just an outrageous number. Anyway, just letting my thoughts float out onto this page. Burritto truley is a sweetie pie, I cant imagine why anyone wouldnt of wanted him. Atleast he has a loving place to wag his tail now.

We love you,Burrito! And Lori and Jen, you guys are our heros!! Thank you for all of your work! Is there anything we can do?
My MIL lived in the USA for 10 years and took in loads of abandoned dogs(about 8) in total, many badly hurt and found on highways. I think it's so sad there is no help for them, but it's only thanks to the kindness of people like yourself that a minority of them get rescued. Give Burrito a kiss from the UK please. xxx
