Dog Talk: 6 ways to help your local animal shelter


One way to help a shelter is to wash, walk and help socialise dogs. — 123rf.com

First, tackle the problem at source: stop dogs breeding. Neuter and spay. If the breeding stops, so will the dumping.

Second, adopt from shelters. Give a dog a happy, healthy home. If you can, adopt two dogs. They'll keep each other company while you're at work.
