The perception of shelter animals
I found a great article online promoting shelter animals - you can read it here if you would like:

http://www.heraldsun.com.au/news/victori...7305671811

I found it good as it was trying to address the stigma that is often associated with animals from shelters. The article notes that a pretty huge 33% of people they surveyed thought shelter animals had behavioral problems. It was mentioned by a particular shelter employee that the most common causes of animals ending up at a shelter was in actual fact financial issues or people having to move houses and pets not being allowed at a rental property, for instance.

What are your thoughts? Have you ever had a shelter animal? I've had 3 shelter cats in my life, and one shelter dog previously. They were all great!
