This is my terrorist house guest, June Bug (radicalized in Hattiesburg, MS), contemplating the evil dog on the other side of the door.pic.twitter.com/pRCwj7vhwG

It is pretty flat around here. Did she come from a shelter?
Yup. Apparently dogs don't get adopted easily in the south, so get shipped up here (MI). We're fostering her from the local Humane Society. Our last foster was from AR. Both Pit mixes.

There's a lot of dog-fighting in MS and Pits are popular. People don't take care of them sometimes, and they escape, run wild, or stay on a chain. A few times a year there's a raid on puppy mills and the shelters are overwhelmed. The state leg is also awful about animal rights.

She definitely lived in a house, bc she knows the best tactics for stealing people food. Also how to terrorize the infrastructure. But no stairs. Also a dog food snob perhaps bc she got so much people food.
-
Ha! Well I hope she gets fat and happy in her new life. It's too damn hot that far south anyway, for man or beast. It's why half of us are halfway drunk in the summertime.
-
Like I said, she's making tremendous progress. Once that happens someone will adopt her away from us right away.
-
I've a friend who fosters and falls in love with them all. She has four dogs now, spoiled and sassy, and an inability to ever say 'no'. :) You're good people.

We're in bad need of affordable spay/neuter programs in the south. A lot of lower income people around here put it off because it's so expensive, then puppies/kittens happen, then they're overwhelmed & end up at a shelter. Many end up put to sleep, it's very sad.
-
One could argue that they shouldn't have pets they can't afford, but poor people are not gonna stop having pets. Cheap spays & neuters are the only way to prevent suffering & having to put so many down.
